First off.. ive heard complaints about paypal. ive heard how much people hate paypal.

well i never cared... but now i see why.

Recently i bought one of those android stickers from a guy here on the forums. 8 bucks, via paypal. seems simple.

Then it gets interesting.

he sends me the request to pay for the sticker. i get the request and proceed to pay for it. I press "pay" or whatever lingo paypal uses.

I have 4 bank accounts tied to my paypal. though i only keep money in 1 account. especially now that im unemployed im running out of monies.

well apparently my default account on paypal is one of my accounts with a balance of 0. well since it didnt give me the option to choose an account, i didnt get to choose which account.

so the next thing i know. my bank history shows i have a -60 balance on one account. So, knowing i dont use that account i get suspicious.... Well long story short. paypal proceeded to charge me 20 dollar ISF fee for each account i didnt have funds in. So since i have 4 accounts and 3 were empty.....apparently its in their terms of service. SWEET.

well i hope i enjoy my 60 dollar android sticker over not being able to pay my power bill!!!!!!

paypal is ridiculous, something similar has happened to me before. have you spoken to someone at customer services?

[kaysesoze]

no... didnt know they had one. i found some info in thier faq garbage about this.

heres the part i dont understand. if they were able to get a 20 dollar charge through on a balance of 0. why couldnt they get an 8 dollar charge.

[bizarro_stormy]

whoa!...thats lame man, i hope you get this taken care of.

That is pretty ridiculous that they did that. However if you're unemployed and running out of money, why are you buying stickers?

thats neither here nor there. and really... 8 dollar sticket > 8 dollar hamburger.

so apparently paypal is observing some holiday so no one is working today there.
