I just closed my PayPal account because of this.

Here is a direct Link if you want to do it yourself. https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_close-account

Thanks. The direct link was the difference between me closing it right now, and me saying "I'm going to," and then forgetting.

Already done when I first heard about it.

The link is useful though; I ended up using one from a different source because I couldn't figure out at all how to close my account

I can't close my PayPal account yet (although I will be encouraging my European customers to move to Moneybookers), but ... there's no way to email them about their own corporate actions. Does anybody know of an email address that I can just address with a complaint? Although a paper letter with a real stamp may get their attention more effectively...

Moneybookers already blocked Wikileaks. Sorry :(

I'd just donated to Wikileaks and PayPal wont let me close my account until next week when it's cleared. I hope they actually see the money :o

I just closed my account, sent them and email, and retweeted the link. Thanks for putting it there?
