I believe I have the total freedom to use or stop using my account any time I want.. but that is not point.. the point is; how come they could allow themselves to block people's money just because they decided to change their policies!! without even providing an alternative solution to recover that money?
I am using Paypal for long years now, but never lot any penny because any internal issues of Paypal.
For me it is simple, as long as I can prove that I am the owner of the money/account, I should be able to manage my money even after ages, regardless of the policies.
