[Full-disclosure] PayPal acount removal: bug or feature?



Dear full-disclosure@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,

I was trying to remember the password for my older PayPal account in
order to close it. After a couple of unsuccessful attempts I've got an
offer.... to close this account if I don't remember the password. I
clicked the link. It showed me current state (actually 0) and warned,
because it less than $1.5 it will not be funded. OK. I click "close".
Now, guess what?

account was closed (NO confirmation by e-mail, only "We are sorry that
you have decided to close your PayPal account.").

I'm quite unexperienced with PayPal, becase it's service for Russia is
new and very limited. But it makes me wonder: is this "Feature" known?
