So, I just recently movedfrom the UK to the US. Since I could not use the same Paypal account I useed while in the UK, I had to open a new account to register my US debit card. Now, I was surprised that in order for Paypal to confirm my card, a deduction of $1.95 USD will be taken out my card. Welll, I had no worries with this, since they said it would be refunded within 24 hours. I requested for the 4-digit code and entered same once it appeared on my statement. Its over 24 hours now and I am yet to get back my refund. Four things here: 1. Why does my card have to be charged just because Paypal wants to confirm my card? 2. Why are they quick to deduct but slow in refunding the deduction? 3. This does not happen in the UK, so why here, or is this peuliar to the US alone? 4. Why can't I use the same account for different countries, as I would not have to stress about this?
