Pay after delivery active but not wanted!

[tedward]

I have around seven transactions totalling roughly £170 pending on a pay after delivery method which is threatening to take the money directly from my bank account on a set date? I just want to pay with my paypal balance as always. I haven't set up pay after delivery, I've been through my settings it's not activated so I cant undo something that's not been activated! I have more than enough balance in my Paypal account to pay. Why do they feel the need to mess with a simple system!

This appears to be an ongoing glitch happening to quite a few people.

Try this first   >>>

To change the default way you pay for purchases:

1.Log into your PayPal account at www.paypal.co.uk.
2.Click the COG SYMBOL 'SETTINGS' near the top right of the page. (spanner thing next to log out).
3.Scroll down to 'Payment Settings'.
4.Click 'Pay after Delivery',
5.Under 'Paying after delivery is my preferred way to pay', click 'Turn this option off'.

If its already on OFF then i have a few suggestions.

If you have paid with paypal and want to make it instant then just go and click on the transactions and there should be an option on the ''details'' page to click to pay it instantly per transaction.

OR add a debit card to your account that takes the funds the same from your bank account and then click ''change'' during checkout to use a card instead on a transaction by transaction basis as PAD ONLY works with your bank account via instant bank transfer and not with a card.

Must be a glitch because when I go to pay instantly as suggested by the transaction it only wants to take the money from my bank account and not PayPal. This is fairly annoying and defeats the object of PayPal if I can't use the funds accrued to pay for items I buy. I'll have to transfer the funds to my bank account and let PayPal remove the money that way...painful. Is there a fix on the horizon?

No idea about a fix.

Been ongoing for about 3 weeks now.
