So after using Paypal instant cash transfer for over 3 years now, right when I'm about to pay for what paypal considers a large transaction $1,225 US, I can't check out because I'm not given the option to use my bank account. I contact Paypal, they say all is good on our end, must be your bank, so I contact my bank they say "all good is here, there must be a clinch in the system, wait a few minutes and try again. So I do, only to note that it's trying to use a credit card, that was basically attained to validate my bank account and has no limit because I just never really use credit cards. So I contact Paypal again, and this time ask to speak to a supervisor, who corrected the last paypal employee, who had me contact my bank, because hey it wasn't paypal's problem. Well as it turns out it was on Paypal's security who just felt like bumping my transaction and even after contacting this "supervisor" validating who I was and confirming that this is my second call and that I contacted my bank and there were no security issues with the bank clearing this transaction, no there's nothing I can do. I have no power, except to sit here and pretend that I have an important job. I can't help you or for any matter anyone else, I've just been given the title of supervisor to make me feel better! So now I'm stuck because this was a birthday and Christmas gift for my son, and sure enough I won't be able to have it sent out because Paypal security system is outdated and even after double verification by their customer, no one can do anything. Of course this will also affect my ebay rating. Very frustrating, and just wish there was competition out there for Paypal. My next posting will be on ebay, hopefully, someone will realize that many ebay customers/vendors are not happy with paypal and perhaps give Google Pay a chance at this business, since obviously Paypal is outdated in customer service, IT security etc etc. Dinosaur in this modern age!
