Agree - PayPal screwed me out of over $200 in overdraft fees by spamming a transaction to an external account when I told them to pay from balance, refused to make it right, and it took months of battling my credit union to get half of the fees forgiven.
I hate PayPal with the fury of a thousand burning suns, and there are endless horror stories like this out there, as well as them just arbitrarily stealing people’s money. I’m forced to keep an account but these days I keep an entirely separate bank account with an entirely separate bank to link to it, just to prevent the contagion from potentially spreading to anywhere where I actually keep a balance. FUCK PayPal.
Yeah, I’ll probably have to use them for people with no other way to contribute, but I don’t have to have an account with so much personal information attached. Deleted it yesterday.
