i emailed paypal early this morning when this happened and i just got this reply:
Unfortunately, you cannot just close your PayPal account and transfer the
money to your bank account. Your account has been found in violation of
our Acceptable Use Policy and has already been closed for all practical
purposes.
Your funds will be made available for you to withdraw 8 to 10 business days
after your account was closed. This should be in the next few days.
I apologize for any frustration this is causing.
If you have any questions, please contact the PayPal Acceptable Use Policy
Department at

Sincerely,
PayPal Acceptable Use Policy Department
