I just tranferred money from my pay pal account to my checking account several days ago, every thing was fine. now today I am trying to transfer money the same way, and a message comes up, saying I need to link my account, why? nothing has changed, this is very inconvienient, because I do not know my bank routing number, and this is  an unnessary delay, I have transferred large sums, many times, what the deal, you need to fix this.  Tom ...

Well the latest is that the stop payment did not catch the pay pal debit from my checking account, the amount is not $320 but $310 + change so the banks system let it sail right thru,  it was looking for the amount of $320, the only good news is the bank refunded the stop payment fee of $31.  Of course this futher exaserbated the situation, now I have to scramble to cover cheks and debits comming thru my account, when there is no money pay pal has it.  Hissy fit, I think not, just common sense, there should be a way to fix this problem without tying up your money for 2-3 weeks, but that might be too much to ask.  Tom ...

Issued a refund to buyer for the wrong amount

Hello I issued a refund for the total amount of the buyers purchase $320 in error, I should have refunded only $30 as we agreed, contacted pay pal, whose representatives in the Phillipines, told me there is no way to fix this transaction, to contact the buyer and have him repay you, I then called the bank and issued a stop payment on the electronic transfer.  What is going to happen to my account when the transaction rejects.  It is not totally my fault, the pay pal system automatically fills in the total amount of the transaction, then you have to go back and edit the amount, I told them they should change the system and leave the amount blank, so the seller can fill it in, especially since there is no way to reverse the transaction, once you hit send, I know filling in the amount  is going to cause problems, and what if the buyer doesnt want to refund the amount, this is unacceptable, and cost me another $31 for a stop payment to my bank.  Tom ...
