this is a policy that's been in place for years now.. and people have been angrily complaining about it for years as well!
it's so incredibly **bleep** that they don't allow you to change it. I've how had to remove my bank account and re-add it on 2 occasions just to get around this frustration. I only wish to use my bank account for DEPOSITING funds on the rare occasion that I get a payment made to my paypal account. I literally NEVER have any money in my bank account and I use my credit card 100% of the time to make purchases via PayPal.
They know it's **bleep** and their lame explanation for not being able to change it is a joke. The real truth is that it costs them less money when you use a bank account and so they can make more comission off the transaction so they leave the bank account as default out of pure desire to make more money.
This is the kind of policy that would make me jump ship to a better payment handler if one was ever to come along. It's nothing but a slap in the face to loyal paypal users and a complete joke as far as customer experience goes.
and it makes me so angry that years later it's still happening!!!!
