PayPal manipulating, removing, or holding hostage the balance of your account?
Yes that’s normal for PayPal.
Getting a the runaround about how and why it happened?
Yep, that’s expected too.
Actually getting a non-form letter response of any type?
That’s just lucky. We couldn’t get an account rep on the phone for almost 4 days when ~35k was suddenly deducted from the account. Nor when they accidentally cancelled all of our customers subscriptions while working an an unrelated fraud incident. Of course in both of these instances the customers blamed us for not being able to process refunds and being unable to reactivate their subscriptions.
