Per the PayPal User Agreement: You may close your Account at any time by logging in to your Account, clicking on the “Profile” tab, clicking on the “Close Account” link, and then following the instructions. Upon Account closure, PayPal will cancel any pending transactions and you will forfeit any Balances associated with Redemption Codes, unless otherwise legally prohibited. You must withdraw your Balance prior to closing your Account. Basically, you can't close the Account until the funds are released, after that you withdraw the funds and then you can close your Account. Kind of a catch there as you will have to wait.
