~mad as hell's review of PayPal customer service

GetHuman: So how would you sum up your experience for GetHuman's PayPal customer community? We'll censor any IDs, numbers, or codes and any inappropriate words here out of respect to the millions of other customers using this resource.
~mad as hell: was given that number to contact customer service for PP Extras account. After getting past the automaton I got a live person who told me that was handled by another department. She transfered me and I GOT CUT OFF! This is typical of PAYPAL. I don't know why anyone uses them. I have closed one account and am trying to close my PP Extras account which I have paid in full after requesting (by mail! that they send me a statement.
