Hello,
A few days ago, I changed my 'preferred payment' method on my PayPal account to go to a new card I just received & added to my payment list. After making sure my new card was listed as 'preferred', I did some online Christmas shopping for my grandkids & made a couple of purchases for myself. Imagine my surprise when I went to make a withdrawl at my bank & noticed my balance was in the negative. I went back home & checked my PayPal account activity & saw that instead of using my 'preferred payment' method (which was set to my new cc & specifically verified BEFORE checking out), PayPal used my bank account for the payments. WHY?! This COMPLETELY **bleep** up my bank account, as well as accrued extra charges for the overdrafts that should've NEVER happened. <sarc> Thank you so very much! So now, what do I do? Because I'm sure I'm not going to get a damned thing back from PayPal.
