PayPal accidentally adds $92 quadrillion to man’s account
By Eric Pfeiffer, Yahoo! News | The Sideshow – 3 hrs ago Imagine checking your PayPal account to find you had accidentally been credited with more money than the world’s annual gross domestic product.
That’s what happened to Pennsylvania’s Chris Reynolds, who buys and sells car parts online.
Of course, there’s one major catch: Reynolds never technically was in possession of any of the accidentally credited funds.
"I'm just feeling like a million bucks," Reynolds said when asked about the technical glitch . When Reynolds then went to check his actual funds available on the site, he saw the amount was, in fact, zero.
PayPay hasn’t commented on the flub but Reynolds was quick to offer his thoughts on how he theoretically would spend the $92,233,720,368,547,800 that initially showed up in his account.
"I'm a very responsible guy," he said. "I would pay the national debt down first. Then I would buy the Phillies, if I could get a great price."
Looking for gas,oil related clocks,especially neon and spinners .clock repair available. Mick

What Pay Pal pays you, they can also Deduct from your account just as Easily. Just ask the ebay seller of the clock you bought & seller Stated in auction "NO RETURNS ACCEPTED", Mick!
Pay Pal should at least give him the interest for the amount of time it was in his account! That alone would feed his family for a couple of YEARS!

I didn't think Paypal paid out interest anymore.
I'd offer to buy the Cubs and take off a million for each year they haven't won the World Series = $105,000,000.00... soon to be $106!
Sell me your Gilmore Oil Co. stuff...
