Paypal harasses me for for money but doesn't allow me to pay.
Obviously, the Paypal is universally reviled for being horrific, and rightly so, but I wanted to add my two cents because my recent experiences with PayPal warrant a one-star review without a shadow of a doubt.
Recently, I've been getting emails from PayPal demanding that I pay an outstanding balance. This is because in spite of the fact that I have four different payment methods attached to my account, all of which have money on them, PayPal has somehow managed to fail at withdrawing money from any of them, and subsequently Continue to harass me for payment. I have in the meantime attempted to directly transfer money from my bank to PayPal. This is not cleared. I have tried to use the ideal service to pay the amount of money. The service is unavailable on my account. I am getting daily calls now, threats for collection agencies in spite of the fact that all of my known balances are perfectly in the green and that I have attempted to pay on numerous occasions. If PayPal decides to hand this over to a collection agency they can expect legal action in turn.
I just wanted to make sure that in case they do read this (and not any of their emails or customer service inquiries), they now know and I now have another paper trail demonstrating that I have in fact attempted to pay on numerous occasions.
