How can I get my Bank Account to be eligible again...

So here's what happened to me. I had some money in my PayPal account and I also had money in my Bank Account, which was linked and confirmed, to my PayPal. I bought an item off Wish.com which cost more money than what I had in my PayPal, but I had enough funds of the item in my Bank Account. The item was around 9 Euro and I had much more than that in my Account, but I only had around 5 Euro in my PayPal.    I ordered the item with my PayPal. I assumed PayPal would just take the balance due from my Bank Account and everything would be OK. Instead, PayPal banned my Bank Account and card and labelled it as a "bad instrument". My account went into deficit and I had to ask a relative to send me money to balance my PayPal. The order went through and all of that however my Bank Account/card is marked as "bad" and I can no longer link it to my PayPal.    Is there a way I can link it again? It was an accident and an honest mistake. I also do not want my name or bank labelled as bad as I really did not do anything wrong. PayPal (the app) did not give a proper explanation on how to transfer funds from my Bank to my PayPal and I assumed it would just take it automatically.    Please help. Thanks. ... View more

I can’t close my account?

So I recently tried to buy something in Wish using PayPal. My PayPal balance was empty. My bank account had plenty of money in it though. I purchased the item anyways, thinking that PayPal would automatically take the money from my bank account because the app does not explain how to transfer money. So PayPal didn’t get the money for the order and banned my card from my account, marking it as “bad”. My balance was negative €10. So I asked a relative to send me €10 and my balance was made €0.02, which is what it’s at now. I just tried to delete my account now because I don’t like PayPal at all and it won’t let me. Stating that an issue needs to be resolved first and that I need to contact customer support. Help me delete my account and I’ll never again have dealings with PayPal, what a horrible service. Thanks. ... View more
