Hello friends, I have an active paypal account. I don't use it anymore but I would like to maintain it, in case I use it in the future. I don't have any card or bank account linked. I just have 1.36 euros. A few weeks ago the money I had was 1.39 then 1.38 and so on. Now I have 1.36 euros. But the amounts below are the same: 0,40 EUR     1,19 USD Why is this happening? Is this a kind of fee for maintenance of the account? I hope not. My main concern is: will my account become negative? Is this possible? I don't want to owe money to paypal, especially without my mistake. I would appreciate any help. Thank you very much. Takis ... View more

Thank you once again.   One more question. My account is active. 1-2 days ago I had 1.38 euros. Now I have 1.37. Why is this happening? Should I worry? Kind regards, Takis ... View more

Hello, thanks for your response!   But from what I found out, paypal will not charge fees for an inactive account with 0 balance. That would be a robbery. They have no right to do this anyway.   As for closing my account is easier said than done, since I only have 1.38 euros. You must have 0 balance to close it, if I am not mistaken... A good strategy is to have an active account, because maybe someday you may need it.   Thank you again. ... View more

Thank you very much for your response. Maybe I wasn't clear enough. Sorry about this.   My question was what happens if I never use my account again. Is Paypal going to charge me even if my balance is 0? I didn't mean having negative balance because of me (for example buying an item without paying).   Thank you very much. ... View more

Hi,   I have a paypal account and my question is If I will never use it again, will my balance become negative due to any fees? I put a non existent mobile phone number (because I don't owe any - I just wanted to close my account) and it looks that I can't access my account. I wanted to close the account but I have a very small amount in it and no linked card anymore. Is there a way to ask paypal to take this little amount and close my account? Or at least put a real mobile phone from a friend?? Thank you. ... View more

Hello, I'm having an active account, but I'm not interested in buying items for the time being. I only have 1,38 Euro. And also I no longer have any card linked to my account. My question is: is it possible to be charged by Paypal for any reason with the result of owing money one day? Please, I would like a straight and clear answer. My account WAS inactive for a long time. No it is active again. Also, is it possible to send the money to another person's Paypal account, even though I don't have any card linked and then close the account? I believe if the balance is 0, there isn't any problem to close the account, correct?   Thank you. Kind regards ... View more
