No luck yet getting a hold of paypal. I have dug into this farther, for every shipping label that I have bought since last May, 

I have been charged twice, once from  my paypal balance and then from my bank account. That is 51 times they have double charged me 

and they owe my over $400 back. Not to mention that these overcharges have caused my bank account to be overdrawn four times. I am very unhappy with paypal right now. I know that I will probably get the typical runaround when trying to get my money back, but I don't see have they can possibly keep money that they overcharged.

I have just recently experienced the same problem: PayPal is deducting the cost of shipments for my sales on ebay from my PayPal account--but then they are also charging the "backup funding source," my bank account (which is on a thin margin because I'm disabled and has resulted in multiple overdrafts.)

 

So now I have two fights on my hand: Persuade the bank to overturn the overdrafts, and figure out what on earth is going on with PayPal double charging customers on shipping.

 

I also am unable to find any options in either PayPal or ebay on preferences for payments on shipping. I have always listed PayPal as my first shipping payment option and always have enough there to cover those. There's no excuse for double charges.

I'm sorry this is happening to you too. I had a feeling I wasn't the only one getting ripped off. 

And I'm not at all happy that someone marked the top of this page as solved, it is by no means solved,

they still have the $400 plus that they took from me.  

What gives them the right to say this problem is solved? Oh, I guess that would be the same right that allows them to steal our money. 

I hope that you get you overcharges returned to you.

Hello Greenhouses,

 

I'm sorry to hear that you may have been double charged. That is understandably upsetting. I'm not sure who marked the solution for this thread but you would very likely need to contact customer service directly for additional assistance.

 

You may also look into filing billing error claims to dispute any duplicate payments. Here is more information on how to report a billing issue: https://www.paypal.com/us/smarthelp/article/how-do-i-report-a-billing-issue-faq3421

No, I have yet to receive any relief on this matter. My bank closed my account for the overdrafts without resolving the double-billed issue, so at least PayPal is unable to charge me that way. But with no bank account linked to PayPal at the moment I cannot print ship labels through ebay nor withdraw money from PayPal for my own use. I am paying for shipments out of pocket, which have increased in volume recently because I assume the coronavirus quarantine has led to more people browsing for sale items online. I am curious to know just how many people have experienced this problem too, and how often and how recently, and if anyone has received suitable relief at any point.
