Simiar story, already posted it last time this came up. Bought a gift code for a 13yo 10 years ago. They lost their email address from back then, as in, don't even remember what it was. But well, I wasn't really The sharpest tool in the shed either at 13. The FAQ say if you have the PayPal transaction id, you get the account back.

Support replied after a week saying they lost PayPal transaction IDs for that time period and unless I can provide the email address the account is registered as, it's a "no can do".

To be fair, it sounds like you didn't the email it was sent to, the PayPal id (receipt), and it was never chased in as an account... What does support even have to go off of then?

He has the PP ID it sounds like - MS lost the PayPal IDs on their end, so they cannot corroborate the veracity of what he provided.

Was this before MS bought Mojang?

Yes, 10 years ago it was still Mojang only. I contacted them about a year ago, when that now 23yo got nostalgic and wanted to play again.
