Years later I get a letter from the State Comptroller about how they are about to receive my balance ($200) from PayPal because they (PayPal) haven't been able to contact me (Don't they have my email address?) There's a number to call, I call it, the PayPal employee says "How do you want your money, check or in your PayPal account?" I choose check, of course, because the account is locked.
And that's the last I ever heard of it. No check. No new letter from the comptroller. PayPal must have kept it. They found a loophole in the system.
It's literally not worth my time to pursue it, so instead I just mention this story in public from time to time.
They locked an account and wouldn't unlock it.
