I was notified today that my favorite PayPal feature is being discontinued first of next year. From PayPal: The Balance Manager feature used to automatically transfer funds from your bank account to your PayPal account is being discontinued. In order to use your PayPal Business Debit Mastercard® for purchases, please ensure you maintain a balance in your PayPal account or add a backup funding source... I use Balance Manager to top up my PayPal Business Debit Mastercard is a nice feature, but I primarily use it to insure I carry a PayPal balance for online purchases. Now I'm told I have to remember to login and manually transfer funds from my bank account. That's more work for a busy person like myself. Which means I may have to think, do I have a balance before using my PayPal account online or will my credit card be used as a backup funding source which I prefer to avoid credit card interest payments. Which is why I use Balance Manager. PayPal could have communicated their reasons for discontinuing Balance Manager. Does anyone know why?
