Due to some problems with 'buyer protection', I cancelled my PayPal account last summer. Since I'm not a registered user, I was surprised to see this UCE hit my inbox the other day:

Geez...these guys must be desperate for business if they have to resort to spamming their former user base. Pathetic.
And you gotta LOVE the "Best of all, Billpay is FREE!" spin! Shades of the eternal classic "PayPal: always FREE!".

LOL!! Once they lose all of their IPO money I bet they start charging for it. History is bound to repeat itself in their case.
