I had an old UK PayPal account, and since I now live in Spain, and the old email address doesn't exist any more, I decided to close the account. It had a balance of around 80 UKP, and I assumed this would be paid into my default bank account. Well it wasn't!
Since then I've used the PayPal email form 4 times to ask where the money is, but despite the promise that they'd respond within 24 hours, they haven't. The first email sent was more than two weeks ago.
As a matter of interest, I had previously tried to empty the account before closing, but a few days later, PayPal without contacting me, grabbed the money back out of my account. I've known for some time, that PayPal can be high-handed, but this is looking more and more like theft.
