***I called and the customer service rep was clueless and could not explain to me how this amount was determined, nor could she explain to me how this balance was created as of 36 days ago. She stated that her records reflected that a check had been sent to PayPal but there was a balance due. Initially, they stated that " new '' activity on the acct had caused the account to go into arrears but the acct has been XXXX for over a year and I have been unable to access it online because of the closure. 
As I stated in my initial complaint, eBay and PayPal need to be audited prior to allowing them to be traded on the market individually. PayPal " IS NOT '' a money transfer company ONLY as they claim in their SEC filings implying that FDIC rules do not apply to them in their financial business transactions ... the banks seem to not want to be directly accountable for PayPal transactions ( credit/debit/fund transfer ) activities ... 
XXXX XXXX sayin ' ... Data = Information = Knowledge = Power!
