PayPal Community

Well, after having my support email ignored and not one useful constructive reply in this thread, I've decided to transfer my money back to my bank account. Paypal is clearly useless, and you have lost me as a customer for life. All I wanted was to put money into my paypal account and use it to Oh, and thanks for that 'confirm email' nonsense that stands in the way of transferring your money back. I guess you people like to try to follow the Ferengi first rule of aquisition: "Once you have their money, you never give it back." I had heard some horror stories about Paypal, but I had thought maybe most of them were just flukes. I regret giving you the benefit of the doubt. When the opportunity arises, I will strongly advise people against using this service.   Congratulations on enraging me and turning me off as a customer. I'm frustrated and at my wits' end after trying to make some sort of use of paypal, after doing everything I was supposed to and getting no result.   Oh, and by the way, while I'm at it, thanks for that censorious and fascistic stabbing of Wikileaks in the back by denying payment processing to them. That's superb ethics right there.   *slow clap* ... View more

I linked my chequing account to paypal, that's how I got money into my paypal account in the first place. I do not need back up funds, and my account is not empty. I want to use THE MONEY I HAVE IN MY PAYPAL ACCOUNT RIGHT NOW to buy something. Why is this so impossible? I could provide a screencap of the relevant page if that might help, but I don't think that would change anything.   Your post reads like advertising. I have absolutely no interest in other paypal nonsense if it's so useless that it won't let me make a simple purchase with the money I spent a week transferring into my paypal account. If I haven't heard a sensible answer by tomorrow telling me how I can use the funds currently in my account without irrelevant nonsense like linking credit cards I don't have or blather about backup funds, I will transfer my money off, write off paypal as useless garbage, ask that my account be closed, and never bother with this worthless thing again. ...
