An update for anyone who cares...I tweeted this link and tagged Paypal, they reached out saying they are sorry to hear and submitted my case for a review. I replied via DM how can they review ny case without asking any new information or telling me what the issue is, got no reply back. Just got an email saying "Appeal Denied" Paypal account closed for security reasons.

Which security reasons I have absolutely no idea. There's no contact info on the email, just says it's a do not reply address.

Wow. What next?
No idea, clearly they aren't paying attention to anything I say and just send automated replies. No one to talk to, nothing to do. I'm assuming complaints with different organizations to see if they can help.
I'd say keep the battle public. The more bad press they seem to have as it drags on, the more likely they'll do something about it.
I learned this lesson years ago when I was 12 and selling some software online. Paypal for no reason froze my account which still had 300$ in it (which is a ton of money at that age!). All appeal attempts failed, and they just didn't give a shit. I vowed never to ever do anything related to Paypal again (hence I don't use ebay). They're a scumbag company.
