To be fair to Fusion Garage, the PayPal policy on pre-selling is well-hidden. Engadget cites a 2003 version of the PP User Agreement, and later versions do not have this language in them. That language is now available only in the Help Center on PayPal's web site, and you either have to be fairly clever in constructing a query to find it or know exactly which links to follow (it's not intuitive).
PayPal has been monitoring Fusion Garage for some time and is aware of this pre-selling violation.
