Paypal Insecurities

Let me just reveal you what Paypal probably doesn't like to reveal .I call it Hidden Charges amounting to $60 per withdrawal while clicking the wrong and followed by what they call Reversal Fee of another $60. The Tab i'm saying i.e. Withdraw Funds To your bank accounts (this mess out my life for one and a half months withdrawal processing) rather you must click the: Withdraw Funds To your card ( but paypal does not make this clear throughout this planet. Now I know the reason why? Who among you would certainly tell the world that you must not ever try to click the former, but the latter - since it suggests your local bank in the Philippines? Just last month i was about to withdraw $1000 by clicking the former tab as it suggests bank accounts in RP. To cut the gruesome story short, i lost $60 from withdrawing because Paypal notified me by my email address after 7 days that I have invalid bank account info but my withdrawal process is verified and succesfuly transferred to my EON account.So, i must supposed to wait for 1 week to see it appears on my account. Further, Paypal took another fee of $60 from my money, this confusing and hiding people call this reversal fee for resetting my transaction back to withdrawal tab. A total of $120 were taken from me without any clear mistakes one can imagine. I called up my local bank UNIONBank/ EON cyber account customer service and they assure me that my bank infos were all correct. i called up US Paypal Office 4x yet their agents have not even gave me clear answer. On the 5th long distance call to US, i was blessed by a certain agent to point me step by step as to where should i click the right way.That is, WITHDRAW Funds To Your Card/// But their final answer, i lost my $120 or P5,160.00. Really in-secured to Paypal.

Hey thanks for the info. At least I'll know what to doo when the same thing happens to me.. Why doesn't PayPal give any attention to this? I mean, they should protect their clients from doing such mistake right? Especially if that simple mistake costs a lot of money for us. That sucks man..

That sucks! The same thing happened to me! But it was only with £200, and I lost like £15! But it was my fault for accidentally entering in the wrong bank account details :(
