Can you create a new Paypal account if ...

I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong section:

I have a paypal account, which i used for 2 years as my everyday account, but last week i got a payment of $500 refunded to the buyer (who turned out to be a scammer) and now im left with a negative $500 paypal account!

That money was MY money, and paypal gave it back to him, even after i had delivered the service 100% and he said he was happy with it!

My question is, if i create a new paypal account (for business) will paypal just close it down? Because they know i have the negative balance on the other one??

Thanks

be carefull, if they limit your account, they will find out that you had another account.
short [my] story: I had 1 limited (closed) paypal with $150 on it, anyway, I had a new account, that I still used, and I didn't had any problem, until I logged into it from a german proxy (forgot that I am under proxy), they asked for photo id + bank statement, I sent them that, but they found out that I had another account at them, and closed the actual one too.

CONCLUSION: Be carefull, after you create the new account, try to log in from only one IP (or not many IPs, specially not other country!), and you'll be ok
