I never knew I had a negative balance. Until after 2 years of it using PayPal they sent me a random email to inform me I had 30 days before they would pass it to debt collectors. So I figured better to close the account. Never use PayPal anyway.

They were sending your account to debt collectors over $1.27? I think that's an even bigger WTF than the original story.

Sorry, 2 years of NOT using PayPal.

I donno. This is PayPal Australia, maybe they operate differently. I couldn’t even figure out how my account got into a negative balance to begin with.

Unfortunately I don’t have any of the old emails otherwise I would upload it.

To be clear, I wasn't in any way doubting you, just marveling at their absurd practices :)
