PayPal wants your money all right -- just from your bank account or their credit card.  they just want to get out of paying credit card fees.   When I reach the 10K limit I'll get a paypal credit card and put it in the closet and NEVER use it.  I wouldn't be surprised if paypal bills my purchases to that one by default...   Another reason to use Amazon.com when possible which allows me to pay how I want. ...

I guess paypal is not trustworthy with the checking account anymore..I just lost 550 miles so paypal could make make a few cents more.  I think eBay makes plenty.  😞 ... View more
