I'll make this a short message but about two weeks ago, I made an online grocery order and did what I always did and wanted to pay through Paypal Credit. However, a week later after the groceries were delivered, I got notification from one of my banks that I had gone overdrawn and was now in the red with them. I have never been in the red with any bank in my life, so that was a first. I wasn't happy about it, as you might imagine. It turned out that Paypal did not use PayPal Credit to fund the grocery payment, but instead used TWO separate sources, one from a credit card and one from this old bank account which I only had a few pounds in. I haven't used that account for well over 18 months, and only had a few pounds in there to keep the account going. I never paid anyone from that account for around 18 months. I told Paypal of the problem, and asked them to give a £5 refund to my bank so I wouldn't be in the red. I was shocked when they said they won't be doing that but told me to contact the grocery online store and ask them for a refund. The transaction had gone through and wasn't PayPal's problem any more. That's what paypal said. It wasn't the grocery store I had the problem with, it was Paypal. Seems they won't take any responsibility. Your thoughts please.
