PayPal
Extra $15 fee and $23 bill when closing account

It is month three of my debacle of trying to get rid of my nemesis, PayPal. It first started when I billed about $150.00 worth of football jerseys for my nine-year-old. I paid the account on the spot via the internet, like everyone else, or at least I thought so. A month later, I received an "internet" copy of my latest purchases for the world to peruse, a bill plus a handling fee. Now, I pay my bills by credit card in total each month, so paying extra really ticked me off. Going on the internet to close the account was virtually impossible, and speaking to a person who spoke the English language was equally frustrating. Finally, I spoke to someone who told me I had to send them a check but would not accept another credit card payment to close the card. What a scam!
Another month later, I got another fifteen dollar fee and a bill for $23.00. I figure that this scam is making PayPal millions by ripping off the consumer yet another way, with no legal recourse. Today I closed the account (I hope, but I doubt it), and I fear that next month another payment will just happen to slip by them, and on and on.
I will never use PayPal again, and I hope this warning helps someone before it is too late. Remember, never give out your bank account to PayPal. One day you will look back and you will be cleared out. I am warning you!
