I hate PayPal. when my paycheck arrived late from company mishandling things, PayPal decides to throw a bunch of payment requests at my bank and cause 2 overdraft fees a day. I racked up $35 fees in 4 days, totaling 280 dollars. PayPal just told me that is how their system works and to ask my bank for them to forgive the fees. I was forgiven one fee. I hate banks and paypal.
I had that happen to me, $0.02 overdraft + $30 overdraft fee... like WTF. Since then I've found a bank where I can block the overdraft "feature", it's the only account I ever give for payments, and only if there is no alternative.
My problem is I removed overdraft protection, and this causes PayPal to literally panic and shoot my bank with multiple requests. I still get hit with the $35 overdraft fee, and PayPal gets rejected. I rejected the overdraft cash the bank can use to pay the overdraft charges and will still apply the dam fee. I hate banks so much.
