Unauthorized automatic withdrawals from PP to bank account - how to stop them?

Hi. I am in Lithuania, my bank account is linked to PP, and I was easily withdrawing funds from PP to that account until about one week ago. All of a sudden, the usual withdrawal form disappeared, and every time I click Withdraw, PP suggests me to add bank account in the USA. So, once. being in urgent need of cash, I withdrew to credit card.

However, from that day on, PayPal is withdrawing every amount in Euro that appears on my account when a buyer pays in Euro. It has withdrawn 3 times, including very small amounts. My bank charges every transfer, so I am losing money for nothing.

I searched the settings thinking I have somehow marked something that makes withdrawals automatic,- found nothing like that. Moreover, I found on FAQ pages a clear statement: PayPal will never withdraw funds from your account without your request.

Well, but it DOES send my funds to bank even when I do not visit my PP at all!

Has anyone encountered such problem?

I contacted PayPal without any response. All they do is send links to "related" topics, but there is no topic related to this issue in any way. How can I stop these automatic withdrawals?

Note: this is no theft, at least the first withdrawn amount has really reached the right account; other 2 are hanging in the air probably because Saturday-Sunday, and will probably arrive to my account tomorrow. Money goes to the right place, but I NEVER asked to do it.

check your Paypal personal profile -like the others said,you may have activated a feature of transferring fund to your credit card,although I have never heard of a feature like you described?

review all the options in your profile,did you change anything like address,country you reside in?
