When I first set her up, I linked her bank account number to my bank account number. I transferred money and it was fine. She needed money a week later and I tried to transfer 400.00 into her PayPal account to be taken from my bank account. But instead, they tried to take it from her account, which overdrew her account. Then I tried to transfer 600.00 to her from my bank account to her PayPal and that money wouldn’t transfer for whatever reason. We got ahold of someone from PayPal who explained that since I had accidentally linked my bank account number with my friends bank account number, the system tried to take money from her bank account instead of mine. The person we spoke to said she could fix it and that both the 400.00 and the 600.00 would find their way into her account in 48 hours. The money did find its way into her account. I then tried to unlink her bank account from mine on PayPal, but I got a message that I couldn’t because there were still pending transactions. Days later, PayPal took another 400.00 from her bank account and we don’t know where that money has gone. Days after that, PayPal took $600.00 from my bank account. The 600.00 withdrawal is listed by PayPal as “Refund to Bank Account,” showing the last 4 digits of my friend’s bank account number, but that money never showed up in her account. She and I have sat side by side comparing bank statements to make sure we haven’t missed anything. So 400.00 is gone from her account and 600.00 from mine. Any advice?
