After FINALLY getting a customer service rep on the phone I explained to him that I would like to make a payment of $15.49 for merchandise that I had purchased via my visa card. He informed me that PayPal does not accept credit cards to be used for online payments. He said that I could make an over-the-phone payment but I would be charged an extra $15 to make the transaction. I told him that a $15 charge on a $15 purchase was highway robbery and defeats the purpose of shopping online to “get a good deal”. I asked him if my due date could be moved to the end of the month so that I would be able to use my bank account when my check was deposited. He said they are no longer allowed to adjust the due dates as stated by some **** government credit card division. I then asked what the late penalty would be on my $15.49 purchase if I had to wait until the end of the month for my money to deposit (I’m a full-time student and that’s when my loan deposits. I’m not a welfare check junkie). De He informed me that a late fee would be $15.49 on top of the $15.49 that I am trying to pay for my purchase. How is this legal and why can’t PayPal be like everyone else and accept a credit card payment online? I’m beginning to reconsider my need for PayPal seeing as they have horrible customer service and make it so difficult to be able to make a simple payment
