Urgh.
So today my paypal account got limited because of unusual activity with a credit card linked to my paypal account....except that I don't - and have never had any credit card linked to my account.
To resolve, I need to add and verify my credit card...but I don't have one!
Upon explaining the situation to paypal, I get the following response:
I replied explaining to them using CAPS that I don't have any credit card and have never linked any credit cards to my account so this is impossible, no reply.
What pisses me off the most, is that they are telling me to contact them, when I have just done exactly that...
Has anyone had this happen to them? Is this a paypal glitch of some sort?
