Im trying to link my bank account and it says something like "this bank is linked to too many paypal accounts" ... ?? i once had another account but you couldnt fix that one for some kind of i cant remember reasons - its possible the bank account was linked there but thats years ago, i assume it cant be a problem to just prove the account is mine without having to fotocopy and scan and mail x number of paper, but a simple transfer with a code for a memo however your customer service site already has question marks on "im not sure if they can do that" not very confidence inspiring, even after all these years and billions ? here's hoping ... and have a nice day :)
response (1) :
detailing all the steps i took before i opened a ticket

PayPal Customer Support :
Thank you for the fabulous automated impersonal reply containing an explanation on all the things i said i did and ignoring everything else i asked - the A.I. sure has improved in the course of seven years.
This is the paypal i remember : it feels like trying to get customer service from microsoft.
So : the issue (as stated in the original request) i can not link my bank account b/c it says "this bank" (not account btw) is linked too many times already (assuming that means "one")
So that handles steps 1 to 3 you so swiftly propose without reading
I lost access to the other account and for some reason you couldnt (read : didnt want to ) repair that for me x years ago. I no longer have the email login, microsoft killed that one. I have explained all this in x-teen mails and calls years ago until i gave up because you were giving me the roundabout
that was the reason i stopped using paypal but i thought, well : so many years and so many billions later , maybe something has improved
so that's step 4 you proposed without reading
it needs to be unlinked, its my bank account so i can definitely prove it is , i dont see any problem but i know american companies feel like clients are their property who should rejoice that they are allowed to pay the company -
So i'll eagerly await your answer and hope this doesn't turn into a 2 month streak of pingpong with in the end me fucking off in the other direction and not looking at paypal for several years again
thanks in advance ,
(and have a nice day),
J

Questions about bank accounts reference

PayPal Customer Support :
Dear Paypal : below is what you sent me , it looks somewhat exactly like what you sent me the first time :
here is my reply to the first time : which i had already mostly explained in the original request :
to which you responded with the exact same answer as before without reading any and automated, only this time it only took you 30 minutes :
this is the paypal i came to know, and the reason why i quit
i would however, prefer to find a solution for this that doesn't say "we can not unlink your bank account" because you can
thanks in advance and have a nice day ,
J

your second (identical) reply :
and so on
i have great expectations that maybe this time i'll give up after 30 days insted of 60 and fuck that shit off where it belongs
its not like i need it, its just convenient
but at this type of treatment it feels like dealing with microsoft ...
must be american ... (you're forgetting you have to kick out the chinese in a last desperate attempt to salvage at this very moment apparently)
i DO think this is me being polite and i dont think i need to be grovelling since THEY are making money on ME
im not sure how the american way works, but it doesnt work like that here
yes , yes , but anti-establishment got Trump elected and look at you now , squirming in all directions with whiteboy Joe (its that zergsong dude) and the Kamalas being all black and green (but fracking is okay !!!!)
SO, im not the one with the billions and the billion dollar company, so WHATS YOUR EXCUSE ?
u huh and here we are : that's not an answer, at least not to MY question
i am THE statistical anomaly, it's mathematically impossible for me to end up where i am, yet i am. If statistics were physics the laws of nature would forbid it. I'm white, suburban, born in soviet helgium during money-times in a fairly modest right-place, top of the class, shy a+ grade-kid ...
but im HERE now, ... which is literally against all demographics and statistics ....
but the question : YOU : you HAVE the billions
what is YOUR excuse for providing crappy shit other than "god bless america" ?
im gonna sleep now, you can ignore this as if it were a customer service ticket
no ...
i grew out of that when i turned 17 they KICKED me out literally, but that doesnt make me a pre-fab leftwing hippie either
i don't do one-dimensional but there you go again, don't change the subject, mate ...
