Quite some years ago I sold a Wordpress plugin at a marketplace called Binpress. They paid to my business Paypal account. It had a $3500 balance and I didn't log in to Paypal for a while. After 2 years I tried to recover my account. It was blocked and there was no way for me to get access. I tried every possible way.


That sounds like a small claims court case, if not suing PayPal for outright theft.

I'm not a lawyer, but theft under pretenses of "protecting your account" (from being accessed by you, that is) is still theft.
