It's easy to understand why they have this bogus policy... They lose money every time they process a credit card, they make money on all the interest accumulated by money sitting in paypal accounts, and drawing from a bank account costs them nothing. People aren't complaining that they can't have funds withdrawn from paypal accounds, as Olivia is paid to make you believe... they are complaining that paypal withdraws from bank accounts FIRST, not just once but TWICE!... and then finally proceeds to charge the credit card as some people would prefer. Don't get me wrong, people acquire the debt and it's owed to paypal... but even credit card companies don't start withdrawing from your bank account if you're late to pay, and certainly not if the payment never goes through in the first place!!!! This is why it's not an unreasonable request for paypal's customers to request payments on credit cards first. Instead of giving customers what they want and deserve, paypal hires Olivia full time to argue in favor of their poor service policies. Nothing personal Olivia, I'm sure you know the customers wants "should" always be considered right, but unfortunately it's your job to go against that belief... I feel for you. I've cut my paypal dealings to an absolute minimum... I can't deal with this "Bash the customers for profit" policy. I now do most of my buying/selling through amazon, they are a superior company, and I also buy/sell locally whenever I can... and I suggest all of paypal's customers do the same.
