I only want to use it for encryption and not triggering SSL warning dialogs in browsers, not for multi-million commercial online sales. They said they only require domain validation, so if someone really wanted to fraud that person could have done it with no problems. Still, they could have put down a more obvious warning.

As soon as I saw "A friend agreed to pay the fee for me, so we used his Paypal account" it all made sense. That probably set off the fraud alarms from the get go. Have you ever purchased an SSL account before? The whole idea is that the SSL provider is essentially vouching for you, that you are who you say you are. All your shit has to match and look legit. I agree that deleting your account was stupid though. If you think that was bad, try Network Solutions. A client of mine had to go back and forth with them adjusting their documentation for like 2 months before it came through. I've purchased certs from GoDaddy, got them right away, no problem.
