Have used e-bay for years with no problem at all but in the last few weeks my paypal account has gone a bit strange and I can't seem to be able to sort it out...or find a number to call them on!
Basically Id set up my account so that if I was purchasing something it would take money off my balance first and then take it straight from my debit card after that and I could also chose to pay on my Credit Card as well. I had to change my card details about 2 months ago cause my bank changed all the switch/maestro cards to Visa Debit ones (same account and everything)so put new details into paypal like Ive done before and it said I needed to confirm the account which Ive done-it pays £1 in and gives you a number to put in on paypal website. However now it won't let me pay for anything or issue a refund (which Ive had to do cause something I sold went missing) because I haven't got any money on my paypal balance. Never had this problem before and its always taken it straight off my debit card...only way I can pay now is by e-cheque which I obviously don't want to do because it takes ages and really annoys sellers!!
Any suggestions on what I could do? Ive done everything it says on the website-my address,cards and bank details are all verified but it won't let me use it how I normally do!
