Time to vent.
I have had a Paypal account for seven or eight years, 2,013 purchases for a total of just over $10k.
I bought something from Ebay the other day, went to pay and Paypal stopped the transaction saying I had reached my $2,000 sending limit, and needed to get verified. Ok....followed the prompts, and to get verified they want your bank account no. and they will put some money in to prove that I am me. (?)
I didn't want to give it, there was a second option to use a paypal credit card. I have enough cards, so I called them.
I went round n round before I could talk to a person, she said blah blah 2k limit get verified. I said BS, spent over $10k w no propb, what gives? Checked with her supervisor, and said oh...your limit was 10k. Why do I need to verify? So that we know that you are you. What? Argued for a while, gave up, went back to Ebay to use a credit card, and you cant. Paypal or bill me later. used the bill me later bs and I think it went directly to my card.
Went to Paypal to set up another account for another 10k w a different card, and right away they wanted to verify, even though I used different card, name, and Email, (wifes). so I xed out, but this morning I got an Email saying the new account is ready.
I have a good amount of money in my bank account, am I wrong for not wanting to give them access?? It just smells funny, I pay my bills every month, owe no one, and would just like to go on with Paypal the way I have for the last 8 yrs. I guess I could set up another bank account, with 20 bucks in it, and give them that, but it just ticks me off. Anyone else run into this?
Anyway, thanks for listening to my rant.
