Complaint #1425739 submitted on 06/17/2015 relating to PayPal Holdings, Inc.. Complaint relates to Money transfers Domestic (US) money transfer - Other service issues .

Complaint was submitted via Web and sent to the company on Wednesday 17th June 2015.

Narrative (may be redacted).

I have received around {$800.00} in overdraft charges from my bank because I am unable to control Paypal funding sources. Paypal requires that a bank account be linked to the account, and then you also add a credit card for backup funding. I have tried multiple times to modify the priority of withdrawal so that my credit card is the backup source to the paypal balance. Even though I thought I was successful in changing the priority of funds, there were other conditions that I can not easily see or understand causing a draw attempt against my bank. During my most recent calls I tried to have the undesired bank completely removed from the account. The call ended with the phone service rep telling me I could n't do it because there was a pending charge still open ( on XXXX of the overdrafts ) and once that settled I would be able to close. After the charge settled I was still unable to close. I tried over and over, and then stumbled upon a billing agreements section, I also cancelled accounts and made changes, but even those were not effective. Today I called again to complain. The Service Rep to me that charges XXXX go to the balance, then go to bank and then other funding sources. I asked then why is there an option for a backup funding source if Paypal still attempting to withdraw from my bank? I read to her the settings that were applied to XXXX of my billing agreements ( XXXX ) it clearly was set to Balance, then my XXXX CC. She had a XXXX sec silence and could n't respond. This was the tipping point for me, I asked her to cancel my account completely .... she was unable to do this, again stating that because of another open transaction she couldnt do it and that I would need to wait for that to settle. They fooled me on that XXXX in the previous call and it cost me another {$70.00} in fees, so I persisted in requesting that all billing agreements be cancelled. She said she did, and I was online when she said that she performed this, but when I checked, many of the accounts were still active. And again I asked why she could n't simply shut down my account. Frustrated I asked a second time for a supervisor. She placed me on hold and then a few minutes later the call dropped ... I came straight here to provide complaint
