Hi Tiber,   Great question and welcome to the Community!   PayPal does not charge NSF fees; please see https://www.paypal.com/fees.  If any NSF fees are levied, they are levied directly from your banking institution and PayPal does not see a dime of them.  I'm sorry they're not being upfront with you about that.    If you had sufficient funds, but your bank charged you an NSF fee, we can only instruct you to chat directly with your bank.   Thanks,   Adrian   ...

Hi marwan19,   Welcome to the Community!   When you add your card to PayPal, PayPal determines the default currency of the card based upon the BIN number of the card.  If you have had your currency changed manually on your card, you have two options: you can either have your card company change the currency back to the default, or you can contact PayPal to request that they adjust the currency on the card.   Please keep in mind, though, that if you change the currency of the card on PayPal, PayPal will always charge the card in that new currency.   Thanks,   Adrian   ...

Hi lesdias,   Welcome to the Community!   I'm sorry to hear about the problems with your payments.  If you can provide the Community more information about your payments - are you accepting them through a website, invoices, send money, etc - they may be able to help more.  The more information, the better!   Thanks,   Adrian ...

Hi cl7a - Thank you for sharing this tip!   Hi adine898 -   Any time credit or debit card information is entered, altered, edited, or changed in PayPal, that information has to be verified with the card issuer in order for the change to take place. The credit card industry has a pre-approved method for merchants to verify this information - the $1.00 temporary charge (often known as a pre-authorization). These charges are not permanent, and will never become permanent, though they are absolutely necessary to confirm card information. This is done to ensure the safety and security of every member who uses our services. The $1.00 charge is released back to your card balance after a period of time determined by the card issuer themselves, not by PayPal. For example, PayPal has their own brand of debit card. When we receive a $1.00 pre-authorization from a merchant on our own card, we automatically release them on day five after the charge was placed. Your card issuer may have different policies regarding when they release, however, so you'll want to check with them as to how long they will remain.   Thanks!   Adrian ... View more

Hi shepherds7,   Welcome to the Community!   The PayPal checkout generates a unique checkout URL each time it's entered into.  However, you could go to the first page of the checkout - prior to signing into your account - and use that as the long URL for your tiny URL.   Thanks!   Adrian   ...
