I have designated on my PayPal the method of payment I prefer for purchases and auctions. So, I thought PayPal would deduct money from that account to pay a merchant when I pay via PayPal. However, in the past week, about 5 of my purchases which include grocery deliver, medical supplies from EBay, and merchandise from EBay have been routed to my personal checking account. Now, my checking account is overdrawn. I have talked to the merchants, my bank, and PayPal. PayPal says that somehow, despite what I have set, they route a purchase to a different funding source if I have made a previous purchase from the merchants. As best I can tell, they have internally set up what they call “autopay.” I am soooo upset.
