I've been having trouble sending money for two days now,  not to eBay, but to my son.  I don't know what's going on, but I'm sorta **bleep**. ... View more

I fixed #3.  I don't know how that got unchecked, because I had it done before. I don't know why that is a problem, though, because I had plenty in my account to pay the $100, and I've never had a problem before. I pay at least one of my bills through PayPal every month ( have to pay utilities through the bank) without a problem.     I don't have a credit card, and have explained that to PayPal many times, and told them that my bank debit card would be pointless, because they'd just be taking the money out of my bank account, since I only have one bank account. They said a bank account was fine, because if there wasn't enough money in the bank account, they simply wouldn't approve the payment.    I work online and have no choice but to be paid through PP, but if they insist I link a card, I'll just transfer my daily balances to my bank and not use PP for sending money anymore. It's convenient, but it's not necessary to my life.    My son and I send money back and forth a lot. He loans me money when I need it, and I pay him back. We also send each other money for birthdays and holidays through PP.  They know this.  Nobody has notified him that his account has been limited, nor have they notified me that mine has been, but just to be on the safe side, I'll go ahead and transfer all my money out to my bank now, because I live on very little, and I can't afford to not be able to access it.      ...

1. Are the funds in your balance cleared and not pending? Yes. If they weren't, I wouldn't be able to transfer to my bank. 2. Are they in the correct currency? Yes 3. Have you done this... Click on the profile tab (icon next to log out) > Click on payments third option along on the thick blue band top of page > second down click on update next to your prefered way to pay and put a dot in one of the options listed. My preferred email works, and gets emails from PayPal daily.  4. Do you have a back up funding source linked to your Paypal account ie card?  Yes, my bank account. I don't have a credit card and don't wish to list my bank debit card, and shouldn't have to since the bank is verified as the back up funding source. 5. Is your sons Paypal account fully verified? Yes. He has sent me money through his account within the last couple of months. 6. Have you double checked the email addy you are sending the payment to so there are no spelling mistakes? Yes, in fact I copied it from the payment he sent to me. ... View more

You may be being scammed. Call your creditor directly and see what is what. If your PayPal account shows the payments were sent, send him a copy of those payments.   Scammrs are EVERYWHERE. Don't ever respond to any kind of email like this, or a phone call. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS call your creditor directly, or go to their office if it is local. ... View more
