Hello. On July 18th I sent $169 from my bank account to a gentleman in Taiwan. I got an e-mail asking why I sent him an eCheck. Converting my payment from my bank account to an eCheck was done without my knowledge or consent. I asked a CSR about this and was told that that was done because it was a “faster” payment method, which I know is untrue. I asked the CSR to note on my account that no money was to be sent via an eCheck again. On August 23rd, I sent the amount of $84 to the same gentleman. On August 28th, I got an e-mail enittled “Your eCheck Payment Cleared.” Again, this was done without my knowledge or consent. I would like to know if (a) this is an unannounced policy change by PayPal that any payment going from the U.S. to an Asian country is automatically changed to an eCheck, and (b) how do I stop my payments from being converted to an eCheck? Thank you.
