Reynolds, who spends around $100 per month on the site, was shocked.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;I&#8217;m just feeling like a million bucks,&#8221; Reynolds told the Philadelphia Daily News. &#8220;At first, I thought that I owed quadrillions. It was quite a big surprise.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In a monthly statement from PayPal, Reynold\u2019s account had an ending balance of $92,233,720,368,547,800. But when he logged onto his PayPal account, he saw his balance listed as $0, correcting the balance error. Still, the Delaware County man said he would have been responsible with the cash.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cI would pay the national debt down first. Then I would buy the Phillies, if I could get a great price,\u201d he told the United Press International. He did manage to donate $30 to the Democratic candidate for Delaware County Council, Reynolds said. &#8220;I was moved to be really generous by good fortune.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The father of three said he has been a loyal PayPal customer for 10 years, using the site to buy and sell items on eBay, including vintage car parts. A PayPal spokeswoman said she could not comment on the incident since it would violate the site\u2019s privacy policies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Soon after receiving the news, Reynold received another notice from PayPal. &#8220;The sad part is that I got word that they still need me to renew the credit card that&#8217;s attached to this account,&#8221; he said. &#8220;So, even though I have 90 quadrillion dollars, they still don&#8217;t trust me.&#8221; &#8211; ibtimes.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 56-year-old Pennsylvania man received an online money transfer from PayPal on Friday, making his balance more than $92 quadrillion.
