PayPal Community

I have been a user of Paypal since 2005. Recently, It has been requested by vendors I enter my credit card information after logging into Paypal using the Paypal interface, but Paypal already has my verified credit card information. Now that I try to close my Paypal account and remove my bank account information, the Paypal website is blocking me from removing the bank account information stating "a transaction is pending". Lies. Nothing is pending. I do not have any active recurring subscriptions. I do not have any pending transactions.

I had the same problem. A website was having me log into Paypal via the interface with my Paypal credentials. After I logged in, my preferred payment source was nowhere to be found.

I want to know why this is happening and if I can stop it here at Paypal. ... View more

This may necro an old topic, but I thought it worth mentioning for helping others seeking such help...   In California, we use the Board of Equalization. I'm not sure of your state, so it may have a different, but similar name. It is a resource for all state entrepreneurs. Sole Proprietors, Corporations, etc. There are several self help articles on tax responsibilites, ethical business practices, steps to build and maintain your business, e-Commerce(the OP's business). It's basically a DIY website with phone support and requested oversight, free of charge. It is worth a look, in my opinion. Most states use the words Board of Eqaulization. ... View more
