I have some major issues with this as well, paypal makes it very difficult to understand the actual balance in your account at any time. I have always wondered why paypal does not show a scrolling transaction balance? No reason not too, all other banks do???
Second, I never know when money will be taken out of my account etc, nor how much is actually deducted for pending or is not deducted. This morning I had less than I do in my account now, but see no transactions? I have no idea what has been deducted etc, and still have labels that show pending, but not sure what has been taken out, what will be taken out, etc. I think paypal could spend a little time revising this system, for how many users they have and being online only many other online banking applications are much more refined.
Also why does no one have trouble when using usps labels? I would think paypal would have the power to tell ups, "for our customers ease of use, charges well be immediate, no pending bs...."
Seems overall paypal is more concerned about keeping ups happy, and hiding what could be in your account than showing. It would be very simply to add a rolling balance after every transaction, and show any pending transactions above all of this. How is ups allowed to debit my paypal account for whatever they feel they want without my authorization? I authorize the pending amount, but per the paypal associate this is placed back in the account then ups pulls out what they want when they want?
All in all seems like horrible service and business for the customer.
Also I have authorizations that show expired, what does that mean? Is that going to be retried to pull out of my account as the original authorization expired? I am to the point where I do not want to ship anything through paypal as it is nearly impossible to keep track of how much I am spending on labels and how much money I actually have in my balance, there is so much pending, expired, authorizations, etc etc it is impossible to keep up. I shipped one package on Nov 13, and see I was finally deducted for the label on the 20th, should paypal users expect a 7 day delay for being charged for the label they print? I have authorizations that have expired and I assume those are going to come out at a later date?
Really paypal, should it be so hard for everyone?
Here is an example of a recent shipping label transaction, it appears I was debited 3 times and only credited once, therefore showing 2 charges for the same label, correct? Again this would be easier to understand with a scrolling balance.
