Hi all, Have my Paypal account linked to my bank account for purchases, and today they took funds for a purchase, then took exactly the same amount again, even using the same Paypal debit transaction number. I fail to see how this could even happen with their so called hi tech system. Maybe I am being sceptical here, but wait for it, I bet I will have to wait days to get the funds back, and it was a couple of hundred dollars too, not to be sneezed at. I will be calling them at first chance tomorrow to get stuck right into them, but they will have their excuses to read out from their little answer book. I wonder how much interest they are making from doing this new trick world wide? Has anyone else being caught up today in this one?

Yes, all good here also, funds returned sometime overnight. Still can't tell who was at fault, Paypal or the banks, but as it was my bank who handed out an unauthorised debit on my account, gave them a reminder that with all their technology, that we pay for the benifit of, it simply should not happen. They had to agree, and promised to fix it, which someone has. We will probably never know the cause of this stuff up, as who would want to accept the blame? I note that it didn't take the usual few days to reverse this, so it just goes to show that this "funds clearing delay'' that we cop all the time with transferring from Paypal to a bank account is nothing but a scam to earn them interest. I mean, when I make a purchase, the funds are gone in a flash, but the other direction,,,,,,,well thats different. Not.

They will not notice or care
And commenting on a topic that has not been posted on in 6 and a half years old won’t be taken seriously by anyone (except the resident head patter)
Well, sorry, maybe when a mod comes online they might pay you attention

Trust me, ebay won't care one bit whether you leave or not. You are not even a single star in the universe to them. Not even a slither of a star. You may think you're important, but to ebay, you are nothing. Ebay isn't going to shut down because you decide to spit the dummy and leave.
Seeya!
