PayPal Credit Card Complaint

PayPal Credit card department,

Unsolicited issuance of credit card California

I was making a purchase on ebay, and paypal is linked to my ebay account for purchases. I already had - credit card and - bank account linked to my paypal account. I added a new credit card to my paypal account for this transaction, from - - -. After adding my card, I clicked on Continue and Pay. '' The next screen asked me for my last - SSN as well as my birthday. I entered this information thinking it was for account verification, since I did not enter my password yet. As soon as I clicked OK '', it said I had been approved for a - dollar PayPal Credit line! I never even knew I was in the application screen for PayPal Credit ( card ). I called immediately to PayPal support who told me that all they can do was close the account, but


happen to them, and she told me she gets calls about it all the time, but nothing ever changes even though it has been reported to her management and executives. They are knowingly and deceptively tricking people into signing up for a PayPal credit line. Even though I had JUST added a new payment method ( my - CU credit card ) for some reason it just defaulted back to applying for PayPal credit. I even find the name PayPal credit to be misleading, as I thought it was referring to the - dollars I had in my PayPal account. But no, having any PayPal credit does n't refer to your PayPal account balance ... it 's the name of their credit card. My credit score has now been damaged and I need action to be taken against PayPal for their malicious and devious actions.
