Just in:

Paypal just blasted me warning that "my" paypal account is closed!
What? Closing a pretend account?  I don't open paypal with them, for 
that reason of this idiocity.  I still have this silly "scary" email 
from paypal for anyone to check.

What I can tell is that:
The ebay seller is using paypal and I refused to deal with this so I 
sent seller a payment in cash and accepted it because seller just 
told me got the money and sent the item.  (in this case an PCIII 
Lunchbox).
