I am a verified User which states that i may make unlimited purchases to ebay sellers and other merchants. So why when my netflix payment required me to add an additional $3.00 from my bank account it was denied? So it tried to take the $3.00 from my credit card which is maxed due to Christams. I checked my paypal account and everything looks to be in order. I am still verified, my primary payment method is my bank account ect. So i called a representative and asked. She explained too me that it randomly selects which payment method?????? Is this paypal or paypal casino????Why do i have an option to select a Primary payment method? It was explained that it may be because my paypal account was nsf which i promptly cleared up and also added funds. She also said that she nor any supervisor do not have any way to fix it, to have it come out of my bank account. This has to be false! So there is no one working there with authority to change a clients account options???? Every one is at the mercy of the system? I was not even sent a email to notify me of the changes, which would have been nice, also the least they can do. I am lucky i did not make any purchases elswhere. even though the funds are available in my bank account the representative could not do anything for me. i am no longer trusting in the system. what if i had made purchases through ebay and it would have destroyed my ebay account without being notified of the changes? Paypal could have at least sent an email or changed my account status. If anyone knows of a governing agency this can be reported to pleas let me know. Thanks for your time and be carefull paypal users, you may get a suprise one day that could ruin your online business.

The exact thing happened to me. I no longer have the payment option of instant transfer from bank account, I assume because I was very briefly in a negative balance which I promptly cleared up. Do you know how long this "restriction" is in effect in this situation? It is frustrating, since I have used paypal for years and never had any issues.

Im not sure how long it will be. the representative said its random and they dont have power to change it? Go figure? its really sad cause from what i was explained is you got to take a chance or jst send money to your paypal account so the funds are available. I , myself, am reluctant to do this. if they jst change your account without there clients knowledge, whats to stop them from starting some sort of fee without our knowlwdge? And then who or where can it be reported? I was talking to my mom about my paypal situation and she to has same problem. Her and i have both been dealing with paypal for about 5 years. I am jst waiting for another online payment solution to arise which ebay will accept and am going to switch. Good Luck to you. Thanks for responding.
