I don't see what the issue or cause for concern is here. The person collecting the money is:
(1) Not a 501.3© organization
(2) Trying to collect for a charitable cause
It reeks of possible fraud. Paypal has the right to freeze a fraudulent account. Trying to fight against Paypal by saying, "Think of the children! The families you are hurting!" is a red herring and doesn't refute Paypal's argument. Regretsy should have contacted Paypal before trying to use them as any sort of charitable collection agency.
