This is ridiculous! This has happended to me a million times! But the most annoying thing is that the system does not say a word why the transaction keeps being declined even for days! The only message it gives us is "if the problem continues, contact the customer service"! Do you think it's easy to contact the customer service via mail? They answer you back after days and more or less, they can't do a lot! And about calling them? There is a significant time difference between Ireland and my country and they don't have a 24/7 calling centre, to be able to call them whenever this is possible! Besides, an international phone call lasting 20 or more minutes would probably cost me more than the actual amount of money I am trying to send! My account is totally verified! I have confirmed my e-mail address, I have added and confirmed all my cards, I have sent them copies of my passport and bank statement to prove my id and address and I have also added a bank account of mine! I have been asked to resend a copy of my passport at least three times within the last six months, for security reasons, as they say and thankfully I have passed all their security tests so far! The last time I was asked to resend a copy of my passport was about ten days ago! However, today I can't send money to a receiver I have already sent him money in the past! How can my account be flaged again, only ten days after my last id confirmation? And please don't tell me that the receiver might be unverified! Because this time the receiver is my own father, whom I, myself, have helped create his account, verify his e-mail address, link and confirm his card and then send copies of his driving license and phone bill! I am 100% sure he is as much verified as I am! Besides, can't they see we have the same last name? How can a transaction between a son and his father be "suspicious" enough to flag their accounts, especially when both their accounts are verified? I know they do all this for security reasons, but this too much! Seriously! Every time I have to do a payment and I have no other choice but to use Paypal, I am really afraid that I may have to embarrassingly explain to the money receivers why they have to be patient with me! And believe me! After all this, if I can avoid using Paypal to do a payment, I do!
