Several years ago my GF was selling a CD of nudes and collecting the money through Paypal. I was doing a check on state unclaimed property sites and Paypal had sent the state of Calif. $20 (the CD charge) to Unclaimed Property. Might check the site out, as it doesn't cost anything. Hardest part is just having paperwork showing you lived at the address Paypal had listed for you.
If it was 2002, Paypal should have sent the money to the state by now. CA laws requires the money be sent if Paypal has heard from you in 3 years.

It pays to check every 6-12 months with each state you lived in or may have done business in. I've scored $5000 in royalties for my GF's brother. I scored my mom a couple of thousand, part of which was a 79 year-old insurance policy. Thank goodness the address on her birth certificate matched the listed address. Also check any business names you had and be sure to check abbreviations, such as Amer. for American.
