Is My PayPal Account Really Closed? What's Happening?

So I just closed my PayPal account online. I caught one of their computer "glitches" not accounting for a $120 payment. I faxed my bank statements to them and basically said I was on track to taking them to court.
Well, after watching my balance owed jump up almost $100 and not spending anything, I went to close my account.
I had about $900 in owed payment to them stacked up but for some reason, the site allowed me to completely close my account saying that I had less than $1.50 in it so Paypal didn't owe me anything.
I cannot access my Credit account now but still technically owe over 900. Does anyone know if this means my debt is negated?
I would think not, but how can someone close their account while still owing credit payments? Do you think the interest will continue to build?

i imagine if it was linked to a credit card, it could have charged you then closed the account, cuz i have mine linked via bank transfer, and when my paypal account went negative i couldnt close it, and i dont think they can just take the money from the bank, but i think they could probly charge you if linked via credit card i dunno i dont have any cards

They can still take money out of your bank account if you have any in there. They do whatever the hell they want. If they have your credit card info they will charge it. You are not done with them yet, mark my words.

No, just what you agreed to when you signed up- which includedyour permission for themto raid your account. Messing with PayPal is like trying to osmart a bank.

That is very true Doc. I owe them from using the PayPal credit part of it. They hand out an $800 credit limit on a whim.
So far I have been jipped out of a couple hundred dollars through "glitches" in their system. I faxed them bank statements showing that the same amount was paid at 2 different times but only one of them showed up on my PayPal payment history online.
They came back and said that the payment was deducted on the 9th of January which was the 1st payment. They did not acknowledge that I sent them a second payment on the 19th.
I have no idea how to make anything happen with that either. I feel pretty fucked right now.
Strange that I -could- close my account owing them about a grand.
I think taking out a loan with my bank to get them off my back would be the smartest move. What do you guys think?
