These days with all the fraud and scams, I would not be surprised if PP makes money split deals with banks to intentionally not use the "preferred" payment card method. You see most all business you deal with and others you don't, have access to ALL of our personal information. From user agreements to everything we do as they have access to everything, then judge you. They know how much is in accounts and even can listen in on phone, cam, you name it. They judge you and charge you accordingly. Like vehicle insurance for example. You can have a great driving record, but low credit. They will charge you unreasonably based on your credit. Even though you pay insurance in advance. Funny how places charge late fee's for advance payments. Fraud everywhere, and done by businesses in so many ways. If you don't check accounts daily and copy paste for record, and don't record business phone calls, You might want to start. They will say whatever, as they think most of us won't record the call as they do. It is good for your record as you can call them out on it. & they try to say you can't record them, in the same biz call where they're recording you. Guess they have much to hide or alter.  I'm going through same with PP, not using preferred method, and sick of having my time etc not compensated for when they steal it from my having to deal with the bs.  Sooner or later I will close PP and the bank they are using as unauthorized method, as the bank likes to play shuffle the transactions to intentionally try to overdraft. Not all banks do this.  Welp, in the end these businesses only hurt themselves. They want to waste my time with fraud, I'll spend much more time doing reviews! lol ... View more
