This is about PayPal " Wallet ''. It allows customers to transfer money to and from a linked bank account. However, I was not able to transfer from my bank account to PayPal after numerous tries. Depending on which account specialist I end up talking to at PayPal, I get one of the following two answers to my question " Why am I consistently getting error trying to add money from my bank to PayPal account? '' ( A ) It 's a computer-generated error but it 's not necessary to add money to Wallet because we automatically deduct from your linked bank account if transaction amount exceeds your Wallet balance. [ Then what is the point of having " Add Money '' from a linked bank account? If this service does not apply to all, do n't customers have a right to know why? It seems like these people are trained to give canned responses - instead of answering the


their benefit or not! By the way, they are the worst in terms of being customer-friendly. They sound exactly the opposite '' ] ( B ) Of course it 's possible to add money to Wallet. Let 's do this again. [ Then they take you thru a series of security checks related to your publicly available information. After successfully passing these checks, they ask you to retry. Of course it failed! Then they say, well, give some time for computer system to refresh after a few hours. It still failed ] My point is that PayPal has become extremely customer-UNfriendly and they are not transparent at all about issues regarding their products and services. I would rather, and I 'm sure most of their customers would agree with me, see PayPal become more transparent by completely removing " Add Money From Bank '' service and charge the bank whenever a transaction exceeds PayPal 's Wallet balance. Or, if they decide to keep the service, then be forthright with their customers and tell them exactly why they are not able to add money after consistent failures. To me, it appears that they are doing stuff behind the scene that are unfair, unethical and are based on malpractice.
