I had a different problem.  My Paypal account payment was past due and there was a big banner on the top when I went to my account.  When I purchase a shipping label the funds are taken first from my Paypal balance and it was at Zero, so that explains the error. ... View more

Many of us have been ripped off by Zestads and some similar companies.  They send junk and then require it to be returned to China and Paypal agrees with them for some reason.  China has poor tracking so those companies expect that the package will not be scanned as delivered.  Now you are out $30 more.  You must dispute the charge with your credit card company.  Or if Paypal is no help, contact Syncrony, their parent company. ...

It's interesting that you mentioned a connection between Paypal and Zestads.  I talked to a Paypal agent today about a different Zestads scam.  Powerful flashlights that can start paper on fire.

Then you will spend a hundred hours trying to get your money back.  Youtube won't help and Paypal won't help. ... View more

This is why I always use Paypal credit when making ANY Paypal purchase.  If you use your Paypal BALANCE, you will have ZERO protection. ... View more
