this isn't directly on topic re paypal holding funds, but: have any of you suddenly had your ebay/paypal bank account link removed because of a computer problem at paypal? -- i tried to transfer funds from paypal to my bank, and they removed leading zeroes from my account number...so of course the bank said the account didn't exist, and sent the funds back. based on the bank saying the account didn't exist, paypal "suspected fraud" and blocked my account. i've been at them for 10 days to fix the computer error, but all i get is a run-around, and a list of extremely inconvenient ways to get my money: (1) take smart phone to walmart, and withdraw them [uh...got no smart phone; w' is 50-minute drive] / (2) use atm...and get to pay 5% fee to get my money --- and then drive 50 minutes to bank to deposit it / (3) they can send a check -- $1.50 fee -- ...7-10 days to PRODUCE it...another few days to receive it, and then that 50-minute drive to bank to deposit it. --- their security questions are absolutely ridiculous! (any of you remember what model/year car you had prior to the current or previous one??? / your old phone numbers??? ) --- a class action suit is looking pretty good to me right now!
