6. complaint about Paypal; this is slightly off topic, because only incidental to EBay.

Dec 2011

On a recent attempted online payment, (actually I remember it was for the last contribution to DU) the only way I could pay was through Paypal (online); or you could send in a check; I have used Paypal for many purchases online, and always paid through a credit card, although Paypal at some point always made payment through debit to your bank as the default way to pay; I always changed it to the credit card. I don't like to use debit cards at all, especially through Paypal. NOW, I was unable to change to credit card; the page said the credit card would be used only if the bank account had insufficient funds. So, I cancelled my contribution to DU. I meant to contact DU about it.

Does anyone else have a problem with bank debits through Paypal???

I will not purchase on EBay if this is the only method of payment there.
