EVERY TIME I go in to get rid of two basically "dead" cc's, Paypal tells me "we are unable to do this at this time." Whatever does that mean? I need to delete both, both are no longer used by my me AND they have expired! wtH? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Here's some info on how to remove a card and why you may not be able to.
Here's how to remove a credit or debit card:
* Log in to your PayPal account.
* Click Wallet at the top of the page.
* Click the card you want to remove.
* Click Remove card.
A few things to keep in mind:
* You cannot remove a card if you have a pending transaction or if your card was the backup payment method for a recent instant bank payment. Wait a few days and try again.
* You may not be able to remove your card if you have a negative balance in your PayPal account. In this situation, you must bring your balance to zero or higher to remove your card.
* If you remove your only card and have a confirmed bank account, you’ll no longer be able to make instant bank payments. Instead they’ll be sent as eChecks, which take 3 to 4 working days to process.
* You may not be able to remove your card if you have a negative balance in your PayPal account. In this situation, you must bring your balance to zero or higher to remove your card.
If you still cannot remove the card(s), then you may want to contact customer support for assistance.
