 The assets were unfrozen later from what I understand.  

Was the opposite ever possible?

Yes, absolutely.

Maybe i'm being judgemental but I think you just aged yourself; the early days of PayPal were a nightmare and I know several people that had their businesses ruined after they froze funds in CONNECTED bank accounts, not the paypal funds, the funds in the bank simply connected to paypal for absolutely no wrong-doing.

Don't trust me; go look it up and realise how insane it is that this company was allowed to continue.

They also have one of the most intense tracking cookies out there.

I had already cut them from almost all my money flows after the insanity of Honey, but that's a new low. :(  

(Tbf the replacement isn't much better about locking funds but hey being able to turn off a service in case of emergency always helps)

I have only ever heard extremely negative things about small businesses trying to deal with PayPal support.

Honestly no clue, I’m not well versed in paypal TOS and what they legally can and cannot get away with. But he was obviously not breaking any laws so common sense would argue that paypal has no legal right to permanently seize the funds.
