Never mind.  To everybody else: Don't bother responding.  After getting two more irrelevant replies from Pay Pal support (including one very snarky one) -- this makes 10 (TEN!!!!!) back-and-forths, with no actual answer anywhere.   I'm closing my Pay Pal account.  This is just not worth the trouble. ...

Nope, not expired. I even tried changing to a different credit card and verifying that. Still only eChecks.   I tried asking Pay Pal support. So far, I've gotten eight useless, not-quite-on-topic responses from them. They don't seem to care, or perhaps they care but just cannot really read. ... View more

The Pay Pal help text makes a big deal about always showing free payment options first:     So how come this is what I see when I make a payment?   Not only is the non-free payment option first, it's also pre-selected.   ... View more

Whenever I try to use Pay Pal to send money to a friend using my linked (and verified) checking account as the payment source, the payment takes over a week to go through. Apparently, it's going through as an "eCheck" payment.   Yes, I have a confirmed credit card linked to my account. Yes, my linked checking account is confirmed. Yes, I'm in the United States and so is the payee. And yes, I'm selecting my bank account as the payment source.   So why no Instant Payments?   (The Pay Pal support people have been worse than useless in troubleshooting this. After EIGHT totally off-target replies from them, I'm giving this forum a try.)   ... View more
