Thank you. He's been pretty bummed out about the whole thing. Mostly just disappointed that his Christmas plans got so screwed up.

They deleted the account that was receiving all the stolen electronic goods. The "help" they offered him was to disable and permanently lock my brothers account too. I understand the reasoning, they can't have some hacker using it ... but after all he had already been through, having his own account banned was like salt in the wound.

That is an interesting tactic. How does that work with bank accounts? As far as I was aware you needed to have some sort of a confirmed bank account to use paypal, unless things have changed. Would you be able to just delete and readd that as well?
