I can confirm PayPal are douchebags in this regard. So much so that I couldn't donate to Lavabit because of it.

Can you elaborate on this? Why did the practice of preferring bank withdrawals prevent you from just choosing a card...or paying some other way?

In hindsight though, this was probably a good thing. You would most likely have been on an NSA database if you had donated to Lavabit.

Politely, I know you think you're helping people by maintaining awareness of the NSA, but a passing mention of Lavabit on a PayPal thread doesn't warrant a a tangent about the NSA and privacy. It seems kind of obsessive.
