    PayPal has been doing this shit for decades. Y’all remember when if you were involved in a payment dispute they’d put a hold on your entire linked back account? Or when you contacted customer support they told your to wait # amount of days before filing a complaint? And then when you did they told you to contact the seller because lol fuck you? It’s almost like the CEO was a raging asshole or something.

    You add your card thinking you can remove it at any time

    PayPal: “All too easy.”

    Add another card, in my case I used a virtual card, then you can remove that card. If you use a virtual card you can invalidate that card when you’re done.

    Paypal has altered the deal. Pray they do not alter it further.

    They did this to me decades ago and I ended up having to get a new card so the old one would no longer work. I haven’t used paypal since. Fuck them.

    I mean I wouldn’t allow you either, that card is magnificent and the fact the picture shown online is not a generic card is more magnificent. Removing it from anywhere should be a sacrilege.

    I had the same issue with Google Workspace. Could not terminate my subscription until I “deleted all apps”, and apps list was empty. My pre-cancelled tier did not have customer support privileges.

    I had to cancel my credit card and have been getting warnings about being sued if I don’t add a working payment card.

    I’ve been trying to change my account region for 10 years without a coherent or positive response so far… good luck with that.

    Lol. PayPal wanted me to jump through more hoops than my bank when my legal name changed after I got married. I literally provided them with documentation and they wanted me to send them a physical notarized official copy of my marriage license.

        I hate talking to customer support more than most but this would be solved almost immediately if you just called. The only thing mildly infuriating here is your own obstinance.

          Right. Never mind that it’s a company whose whole deal is handling finance and it fails to do basic shit like this. It’s my fault that I don’t wanna waste half an hour talking to call center employees who will keep mindlessly repeating bullshit.

          Also, just checked.

          Customer Service Hours

          6:00 AM PT to 6:00 PM PT Monday through Sunday

          Not directly at least. I don’t pay for the account since the fees are waived if some criteria are met. I guess they do make money from me by investing my money, so I am paying for it in some sense. But I do need a bank account, so whatever.

      Are you actually crying about someone having a cool image on their debit card for something they are a fan of?
