"When you want to step back from your contribution to the project, please contact us, not PP"

Not what I'm saying...inferring or suggesting others do...

I'm trying to get a handle on what exact dates are affected..
from that...
understand whether or not the date affects specifically my [and other people would benefit from this exact knowledge as well] last paypal transaction and if it is inaccessible to you.
If it is accessible excellent ..no need to raise up dust needlessly with paypal.
If however the funds aren't accessible to you ...
then contacting paypal ..
raising a holy stink...
and insisting that those funds be freed to you ..[using whatever logic is necessary]
or if that is impossible...
then immediate reimbursement should occur ...
paypal must then needs "fully" return said funds to the original sender...
losing out on said business...
then said funds can be resent via wire from bank [bloody vultures] to you without anymore than a few days irritation all told.

"This way PayPal will receive from all of us a standard mail written in proper english language (I don't think that I could explain the situation in an understandable way in an mail) and act according to our wish."

very good idea @mal
