So I spent the most of the last 2 days trying to deal with issues with PayPal.
I tried to buy something and the payment did not go through (without stating why).
Seller said it was not a problem on their end.
Turned out to be PayPal. Without any notification, they suddenly demanded I provide passport and proof of address information again. Rejected my passport copy, because they "could not read it" because it was too light or whatever (geez). Then they had a problem with blocked out social security number. This is something my government requires. But PayPal did not accept that.
So I decided to unblock the social security number, which is a risk for me. Expecting that after approval the payment would go through.
Not so. Tried again (for the umpteenth time). No way.
They say they cannot pay this order. They could not say why not. According to them I have not (yet?) been de-banked, but it sure looks that way.
I cancelled the order and re-ordered and it still did not go through.
PayPal insists they will pay future orders (maybe) , but they don't see it as a problem that they don't pay. (just use another way of payment ... huh?)
Of course there is these days no guarantee that another bank or financial agent would not act equally irresponsible.
I sure do not like PayPal.
