Paypal has a long history of being a pain in the tush about this:

I have known them to do lovely things like freeze the account of a 
small NGO's fundraiser event because suddenly the paypal account of 
the NGO got too much money in donations in too short a time, and they 
thought that was suspicious and wouldn't allow the NGO to withdraw 
any until they appealed -- so the event had to be cancelled because 
the money to pay for the band, whatever, was in limbo.

It seems unlikely it's because of your Tor use, but we'll look for 
other anecdotes that might lead us to believe this to be the case.

Thanks!
