Ask HN: PayPal Cards

Why is it that PayPal can just send a card to me in the mail without asking for my permission or approval beforehand? Is this an example of TOS abuse (read the fine print), scummy practices creeping into a mature company, or something else?

I've had an active PayPal account since 2000. They've never sent me a card. Could you have unintentionally clicked something on an eBay page or similar?
