I have been using my PayPal Business Debit Card for years..  It's linked to my bank account. The process has always been I make a purchase with my PP card and it's always accepted.  The next business day, the transaction hits my bank and the amount is taken from my bank account.  Everything is good and just in the world..  It's been this way literally for years..    This is the way.  😄   Yesterday, I did a transaction in the morning and it was fine.. That afternoon, I attempted 2 transactions and the transactions were declined..  The only help I could get from PayPal was "You need to load more money on your card" or some such nonsense..  Everything is fine with my bank and my account..  The PP card just stopped working..   I just checked it and it's still not working..   Anyone else having trouble with the PayPal card??     ...

It's entirely possible that the email from support was wrong..    But, on the other hand, when I go to THIS link:   https://www.paypal.com/us/myaccount/pad/optin?entryPoint=marketinggen   .... it DOES say it's turned on...   =================================================================== Pay After Delivery is active Use your linked bank for eligible online purchases that you make with PayPal Try out your purchase.

Thanx for the reply..   Yes, that's what happened.  My bank account was hacked so my bank closed the account and opened me a new one..   I had PAD transfers pending and tried to get PayPal to change those pending PADs to the new account.  But, as usual, PayPal ignored me, so I ended up with a bunch of overdrafts and negative balances thru PP, but I resolved that over 6 months ago...   But apparently, I am in good standing again because PP customer service told me PAD is available to me and is on..   I should also note that I *DID* get the option for PAD with one EBAY purchase about a week ago.. But that particular purchase, I didn't want to use PAD so I selected the INSTANT TRANSFER option instead..     Never seen a PAD available again since then..   Thanks again for the reply... ...
