that' s interesting, since i am using my same  old windows pc and   keep getting  login blockage too. Only recently.  This windows pc and firefox browser is all i  have ever used in the past 8 or so years on  paypal. They want to do a " quick  security check" but the only means is a text. I don't have a cell phone,  only a land line. So i can't receive a text.  Therefore it's impossible . This is beyond idiotic and incompetence on the part of those designing this site and security. You would think they are a child who never heard of land lines.  And think for some super stupid reason, that  everyone has mobile phones. They should not let the poorly informed, unaware,   immature people make  such big decisions about logins. this is an unbelievably stupid, unforgivable, outrageous, troublesome offense against long term, good  users. in fact  they also have my home phone listed as a mobile. i tried to take that of f but it's impossible. ...

PAYPAL AUTOMATIC PAYMENT on websites, NO choice of...

Paypal, this needs fixed,it is  HORRIBLE, atrocious,  and harmful. why on earth does paypal  force us to always pay with the same payment method once we   pay for something on a website ?    that is the worst possible thing. We need to CHOOSE which  payment method we want to use , every time we  sign in to paypal from the  online site , to pay. It is totally disastrous to automatically use the same payment method  when we need to use something else. Just because we paid using paypal before, does not IN ANY WAY mean that  the next time we pay  on that site, we should always be forced to use  the SAME payment method we have used there before,  with paypal . But the linkage  forces it on us , sometimes disastrously. We  are expecting paypal to let us choose and instead it  pays using some  wrong payment method because our previous transaction with that merchant used it. OUTRAGEOUS. ALL WE NEED IS TO  GET SIGNED IN TO PAYPAL from that merchant site. and THEN CHOOSE OUR PAYMENT METHOD each time!  forcing us to use same payment method without any  choice, automatically transacted with no input from us,  probably got  quite a few  bank accounts overdrawn, since  paypal never   let us choose payment method, just automatically  transacted with same  payment method we used a year ago. ARE YOU JOKING?. No  other way of paying with paypal is offered on  these merchant sites , it is all automatic once we paid for something one time using paypal.  It's always the same payment method ie card or bank, but WE don't know which payment method is stored . Because there's no way to see  which one is stored , from a year ago,  at checkout, nor change it.  We aren't going to  memorize  which payment method we used on paypal  from 100 different  shopping sites. SO WE NEED TO JUST GET TAKEN TO PAYPAL AND  SIGNED IN, AND THEN CHOOSE OUR PAYMENT METHOD  AGAIN. Especially when  we have NOT consciously and  actively chosen to have the same payment method for a recurring payment such as  a DELIBERATELY CHOSEN ( by the customer)  monthly automatically paid   subscription  etc. Single transactions should NOT use  same payment method automatically all the time, without our consent, and not actively chosen. When  NO choice to pay with same  payment method ( or not) has been given. FIX THIS HORRENDOUS  THING PAYPAL! you will do  most of us a huge  favor and stop  this terrible erroneous problem. Let us choose our payment method in every transaction unless we  actively chose otherwise. In  all cases so far, NO website ever asked me nor gave me any choice nor did you. ... View more
