Paypal reversing payments!

I just got this email from paypal:

Hello Vidyut,

Your payment of  $$ has been sent back to the sender of the payment.

We reversed this payment because we have stopped allowing personal payments to be sent to or from India.

If this was a payment for a purchase of goods or services, and not a personal payment, then you may contact the buyer and have him or her resend the payment as follows:  (a) click the Send Money tab, (b) select “Goods,” and (c) provide a shipping address.

If this payment was a personal payment such as a gift, then we have requested that the sender find another payment method until we restore personal payments to and from India.

We are trying to resolve this issue as quickly as possible and we’re sorry for any inconvenience.

Thank you,
PayPal

Now, this is really strange. This was payment for an online job I have already completed. More difficult are those payments to be made to web hosting providers and so on. I doubt if it is just me with this problem. There are people whose entire livelihoods depend on being able to accept payments. I am just wondering at the wholesale damage this action has probably caused. Also wondering about people who delivered based on the payment which later got reversed.

Yet another reason why paypal suchs, and still is quite necessary to have an online career :(

Dayum, I can’t afford this loss right now.
