Add me to that list.
In like 2001-02 I had a client who was paid me via PayPal 4 times for $139 each time for a monthly service I subscribed to on his behalf - he was reimbursing me.
7 months later, after I had no contact with him, he was reconciling and did not recognize these charges.
He called his bank and disputed them, PayPal instantly just negatived my account and refunded him - without ever contacting me.
So it took me about 8 months to realize that my PayPal was even negative - I found out when a collection agency called me on behalf of my debt at PayPal.
When I finally found this out, I called up the old client, he cut me a check.. no big deal. No harm, no foul.. right?
Wrong.
PayPal had already sent this to collections, so the account was closed. And now I can't have a PayPal account. Not like I want one with these policies.
