This functionality is clearly broken, and no one at PayPal cares. Email to customer support will result in a form letter response, explaining how to use this same function that doesn't work. PayPal benefits from keeping the old bank account on there, since it may be useful for them to grab more funds at some point. PayPal does NOT benefit at all from allowing us to remove a bank account, and consequently they do not care that it doesn't work. The "moderator"'s response that there is no harm in leaving it set up is misguided. If PayPal pretends to enable its customers to manage which bank accounts are attached to their PayPal Wallet, the functionality should work. Since I am unable to delete the bank account which I have CLOSED, there is only exposure to me from having PayPal try to charge anything against that account, possibly resulting in overdraft charges. So yes, PayPal should fix this functionality and enable its customers to delete bank accounts from their PayPal accounts. To further aggravate me, my attempts to get help from customer support resulted in some clown employee creating a PayPal Credit line on my account, complete with a newly created email address. Clearly they have an incentive to push their credit services, as they make more money from those services -- but it smells like the same mess that Wells Fargo walked into last year when they created all those bogus accounts for people. https://jaquette.wordpress.com/2018/01/23/paypal-has-lost-its-way/
