teal have they given you any info yet? one thing you could do is call one of the local consumer reporters. i know its a cheesey thing to say but they seem to get the job done. and maybe some media coverage will bring more disgruntled people out of the woodwork that have been shafted by this or some other tool on paypal like this. i dont know just something i would think about trying that way you could MAYBE get some revenge. and sorry to here about the bad news teal.
