Another example of the Ebay conglomerate being too big for their britches. Alas, when you have a monopoly, you don't need to listen to unhappy customers. I'd keep trying to get them to re-open your old account somehow. Maybe even grovel a bit- might be worth it in the long run if you want to use pp for your online store! Good luck, I've had more than one run in with Ebay myself!
