Whenever I try to withdraw my money, I get "Something went wrong, try again later".  So far in 3-4 weeks I opened around 4-5 tickets (because they are closed automatically), some pathetic excuses on why I cannot withdraw are:   - you need to clear your cookies (I did that, even thou I know it is a stupid answer) - your card is in the wrong currency (I added new cards, visa as you requested, same problem). - you need to logout and wait 3 days before logging back in, I did that, it didn't help, I cannot reply to ticket because it closed automatically in 24 hours. - your phone number is not verified, next to "Log out." Under 'Account Information', click Phone Number, next to phone number click confirm   There is no confirmation option next to phone number !!! It seems to be a new PayPal interface, if SO, you should be AWARE OF THIS !!! This is ridiculous and frustrating as hell !!!   ... View more

I added my cards to PayPal so that I can withdraw funds to them, I am from Romania, local currency is RON, my PayPal funds are in USD... When I add a card, the currency associated with the card is eider GBP or RON, but never USD, so that when I try to withdraw funds, PayPal is forcing me to make a conversion I don't want to do. I contacted support and after some struggle, I was able to change card(s) currency to USD.    It worked to withdraw funds for a few times, now when I try to withdraw without conversion I get this: "Things don't appear to be working right now"   I waited around 30 minutes on the phone just to be hang up on me. I sent a message from message center asking why I am not able to withdraw, the only "reply" after days of waiting was this: "This conversation has been closed."    Does this mean PayPal is keeping my money if I am not accepting the forced absurd conversion rates ? Or what does the error mean ? ... View more

I am hoping someone from PayPal can have a look at this and get a reply from them ...   I have around 5 cards associated with PayPal, in USD, EUR and RON. PayPal always charges a different currency especially for automated payments where you have no option to switch currency ... For an EUR card paypal charges me in RON (converting the amount), then my bank also converts the amount from RON to EUR (card currency) when there should be no conversion at all, this is absurd.   I opened two tickets and specified correct currency for each card, I only got the confirmation email but no reply, last one was opened 11 days ago, this is the ID from subject line:   VV44REXGE (KMM134903673V98734L0KM) :ppEU Also when I make the payment manually, on checkout page after you select the right currency it also changes your card number, so if you are not careful you still end up with conversions.  Seeing these fishy practices makes me think PayPal earns more from conversions than from normal payment fees.    They say you need to contact them in order to associate correct currency, when you could just have a simple option when managing the cards. ...

I have 244 $ (180 Eur) in my PayPal balance, and I am trying to make a payment of 164 Eur.   The payment page asks me what card I want to use, If I continue like that it says that it failed to take cash from my card, I don't want PayPal to take more money from me, I want to pay with what I am supposed to have in the PayPal account.   I sent an email 2 days ago and I got no reply, I did get the confirmation message. If any representative wants to have a look, this is my issue id:   Questions About Payments and Funding VV44REXGE (KMM52108452V8773L0KM) :ppEU ... View more
