www.paypalwarning.com seems legitimate-

PayPal froze my account 6 months ago with NO notice whatsoever. There
was a disputed "chargeback" for a transaction in MAY of 2000. That's
right, over a year later VISA tries to do a chargeback (through
PayPal) of $1,450 from a pinball game lost by Randy Buffalo.

In any event, PayPal did not go to bat for me. I had to find on my own
that VISA has a 4 month period to file a chargeback, and then it's too
late (not that I should be responsible for Mr. Buffalo's bankruptcy
and fraud). PayPal has been terrible in this. No emails returned. Did
get a response to a registered letter, but no follow up. THEY NEVER
RESPOND to you.

Luckily, I didn't have any money in the account when they froze it.
For six months it has shown a negative balance, then recently- the
account was terminated with, once again, NO notice from them.

If they should ever try to bill me for that money, then its time to go
to court (and drag the "gentleman" I sold the pinball game to along
with them!)
