<Speculation>
If they do not HAVE a Paypal account (or CLOSED one??),
then a payment to them would consist of Paypal sending them an email 
saying that there is money for them, and for them to do a special "guest"? 
login to ask to be sent the money.
If they haven't done that, then Paypal might say that they haven't 
"accepted" the money yet.

If they cheated somebody in the past, and OWE money, then Paypal might 
require them to agree to make good on the previous (have some or all 
of the incoming money go to back debts?)  before they can accept 
the money??
