Re: Another fail Paypal trolling us out

So here's the deal :   1. Bank account alone can't be used for instant transfer anymore, asks for a CC 2. Add a pre-paid CC to account, might make instant work for 1-2 buys if you're lucky. Otherwise, the only way to pay is with the added CC...... Yeah try to buy 50$ with a 20$ card with no other options ......... 3. Remove said card and you're back to #1 4. In other words : DUMP PAYPAL, GET A REGULAR CC AND BUY WHATEVER YOU WANT WITH NO HASSLE 5. Unless #4 is mistaken, that's mostly the only option left 6. And please, if I had a CC already, I wouldn't be here crying out I can't use my bank account, nor would I use Paypal in the 1st place. ... View more

So not only did I have to go out and buy a pre-paid CC to add to my account to even be available to buy stuff, now I can't even choose to pay with instant payment, only CC ....... Grats Paypal, another fail on your part. Good thing I can't do anything else to buy stuff online, otherwise I'd burn my account years ago. ... View more

Sadly the only way fo fix this (sorta) is to buy a prepaid credit card (any amount), add it to your account and surprisingly everything goes smoothly after.............................. Thanks Paypal. ... View more

The most trolling aspect in all this is : you can't buy say 30$, but the 50$ option on same site using same account will pass... Or click 30$, doesn't pass for instant, cancel, come back within 2 mins, success..... And please, if I had a CC in the first place, I wouldn't pay through Paypal, so why harass me to add 1 to my account if my only purpose for Paypal is to pay with bank account..... ... View more
