It's easier to file a report with the CFPB: https://www.consumerfinance.gov

I did get my PayPal account back by doing this, after I sent out an eBay order so fast they decided I was a scammer because the tracking info already said it arrived when I added it to the invoice.

Ironically, the CFPB exerts the regulatory pressure that causes payment processors to close accounts. I'm not sure who you're reporting to who at the link above.

Essentially, banks find CFPB claims so annoying that they will usually fix the issue just to make you go away. Btw, I just did this a few months ago so the system shouldn't have fallen apart since then.
