Rant Paypal Me And Another Ocner

OCNer (not saying his name) then received an email from PayPal stating they closed/limited his account due to suspicious activity. He logs in, and he can see the funds, but can't do anything with them.

He shoots me an email asking if I did anything, I told him no.
he gets on the phone with PP and they say they can't do anything about it and it was closed because I sent him 2 payments. (1 was funds that were in my PP account, and the other was from my CC)

I can't dispute it due to sending it as a personal payment for Payment Owed.

I called PP just now, and they said that OCNer will need to call in and ask them to reverse the funds.

So, right now, I'm out $150 and still no CPU or Ram, and he's stuck with a useless PP account with my $150 in it.

UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
