I would agree with you all that this is extremely frustrating - in my case i had made a purchase on ebay and was overdue with payment because paypal pushed the clearing dates back twice. and while waiting i accidentally choose, but do not remember actually making the choice to use it, an e-check payment. the result of that was, paypal had a date set for taking it from my account, i went the day before only to discover they had already attempted the day previous and i was on the hook for NSF from my bank. the end result was over $70 in penalty. THAT makes me angry. I've come to learn what to expect from this service, and that is absolutely nothing. you can't expect it to be click-it fast, account for their slow inneficient systems and do not make purchase decisions until AFTER the money is cleared into your PayPal account. Keep in mind that they are running a business, and aside from gaining revenue from sellers they gain revenue from currency fluctuations AND interest from time in their coffers. It's easy to moan and groan about such things, but i know for a fact that wouldn't be the case if any of us complainers were on the other side of the fence. Be careful what you expect, who you deal with, and in the moment remind yourself that no one really gives a crap what your problem is. conduct yourself accordingly.
