Know that you are not alone! I'm having the same issue, and customer service is completly worthless in this matter! I called them because for a month now all these transactions that used to clear just fine won't clear at all. When i called i was told it was due to thier "internal security model." It had deemed these transactions unsafe for my card/bank account to be used for this. What was i trying to buy? a .99 itunes purchase! Wow, really paypal? iTunes is unsafe? I'm furious because now the only way i can pay for things with paypal is by first transferring funds from my account (which takes 3-5 days) then paying through my available funds. Stop trying to protect me when I don't need it. I'm perfectly capable of deciding where i'm ok with my financial informatioin going. Instead i now have to set up my info on websites individually instead of nice easy paypal. I plan on closing my paypal account in the next few days, it's not worth having anymore, it is now worthless. Good job, your overprotection is hurting your legitamate customers!
