I have received around $800.00 in overdraft charges from my bank because I am unable to control Paypal funding sources. Paypal requires that a bank account be linked to the account, and then you also add a credit card for backup funding. I have tried multiple times to modify the priority of withdrawal so that my credit card is the backup source to the paypal balance. Even though I thought I was successful in changing the priority of funds, there were other conditions that I can not easily see or understand causing a draw attempt against my bank. During my most recent calls I tried to have the undesired bank completely removed from the account. The call ended with the phone service rep telling me I could n't do it because there was a pending charge still open ( on - of the overdrafts ) and once that settled I would be able to close. After the charge settled I was still unable to close. I tried over and over, and then stumbled upon a billing agreements section, I also cancelled accounts and made changes, but even those were not effective. Today I called again to complain. The Service Rep
- of my billing agreements ( - ) it clearly was set to Balance, then my - CC. She had a - sec silence and could n't respond. This was the tipping point for me, I asked her to cancel my account completely .... she was unable to do this, again stating that because of another open transaction she couldnt do it and that I would need to wait for that to settle. They fooled me on that - in the previous call and it cost me another $70.00 in fees, so I persisted in requesting that all billing agreements be cancelled. She said she did, and I was online when she said that she performed this, but when I checked, many of the accounts were still active. And again I asked why she could n't simply shut down my account. Frustrated I asked a second time for a supervisor. She placed me on hold and then a few minutes later the call dropped ... I came straight here to provide complaint
