I have been doing transaction with the same company for international call minutes since September 2016. All that time my charges were foreign transaction fee around 2.5% which I happily carried. I have linked my bank of America credit card with my paypal account. Starting April without any warning from paypal exactly the same merchant started taking the charges as Quasi cash which is equivalent to cash advance and as a result my bank is charging me 10 dollars for every transaction. These are small transactions of about 5 dollars and 1.24 dollars. Does it really make sense for any sane person to make a customer pay 10 dollars for a 1.24 dollars transaction? I have been busy not reviewing my statements properly till today just to see a trend for the past 3 months of total rip off from my account. I called bank of America they told me have nothing to do with this I should call paypal. Can someone in paypal explain to me why I have been treated this way, when and how I should expect my money back? Was there a change in policy between March and April to start getting these predatory charges? I feel humiliated
