I was able to log in eventually. However, since then, I received two warning email from Paypal, requesting me to accept their Policy Updates to prevent Account Limitation.
The first email is like this:
Dear ***,I went to their website and visited their "Policy Updates" page after log in. However , I could not find any input methods to allow to indicate whether I would accept or decline the policies, as shown in the following screens (the top and the bottom of the page):
PayPal's records indicate that you have not accepted the Product Disclosure Statement.

Additional Information
-----------------------------------
Q. Why will my account be limited if I do not accept the policy updates within 30 days?
A. By agreeing to the terms of PayPal's updated policies, you are entering a binding, voluntary contract with PayPal. Therefore, if you decline the updated policies, we must assume that you no longer agree to abide by those rules, and your account will be limited. When your account is limited, you cannot send or receive money until you accept each policy update required. You will also have the right to withdraw any remaining balances if your account is limited.
Sincerely,
PayPal

For God's sake, haven't they ever tested their website to make sure a user can accept their policies?
So so so pathetic... And I really don't want to have any business with them any more. Unfortunately, I have to... Yahoo!'s Flickr only accepts Paypal payments... But I'll try to stay away from Paypal as possible as I can. I just don't trust them: if they can't even make their website decently functioning, how can I trust them to abide by privacy laws or safeguard credit card information...
