    Sanctions. PayPal, being a US company, is required to enforce them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanctions_against_Syria https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanctions_against_Syria

      Ah. So because a random identifier contained a four-letter-long substring of the name of a city in a sanctioned country the whole thing was flagged. Makes perfect sense.

        As I said in another comment: You're being sprayed with weed killer. It doesn't matter to the farmer that a few flowers are killed, it just matters that the weeds are kept down.
