Maybe, that's the reason why some people using tor will be hold by paypal. 
Two different ip address of login and logout

I wonder if the paypal website script can detect who use proxy or tor for 
the reason of fraud?

MANY THANKS

A month ago PayPal took my account hostage because
they fantasised to have reason to believe a third
person had access to it.

There were no unauthorised transactions,
therefore I'm sure it's a false alarm.

Of course they didn't tell me their reason,
but I assume it's a stupid one. I wouldn't be
surprised if it was because a change
of exit nodes while I was logged in.
