Quick PayPal question
 

A while back I closed a PayPal account because I could not use it for anything other than receiving money. The address and such on it was bogus because when I made it I didn't know that PayPal required you to sign over your soul just to use money you already own any way.

So now I just received this e-mail:

"Dear Blabla Blabla,

On Oct. 12, 2004, you withdrew -$170.77 USD from your PayPal account by
check. According to PayPal policy, we place a stop payment on all
outstanding checks 180 days after they were issued. Because you did not
cash your withdrawal check, a stop payment has been placed on the check,
and the funds have been returned to your PayPal account (minus the $1.50
USD processing fee).

If you would still like to withdraw these funds, you may log in to your
PayPal account and initiate another withdrawal. To avoid the processing
fees and additional delays, please add a bank account to your PayPal
account and choose the 'Transfer funds to your bank account' option under
the 'Withdraw' subtab."

The paradox of course is that the account is closed and I can't log in to it.

Any obvious solution or is the $170 PayPal's now?

The question is why you didn't cash the check. You wanted a souvenir or what?

As I said, when I made that account I used bogus address information, and I couldn't later change much of it. I didn't know that PayPal was such a bureaucratic beast because it was my first paypal account.

So, anything obvious I can do or can I just forget about it?
