PayPal has been doing this shit for decades. Y’all remember when if you were involved in a payment dispute they’d put a hold on your entire linked back account? Or when you contacted customer support they told your to wait # amount of days before filing a complaint? And then when you did they told you to contact the seller because lol fuck you? It’s almost like the CEO was a raging asshole or something.
Yup. Among the victims VideoDownloadHelper Addon. They don’t accept Paypal donation anymore.
They are altering the deal. Pray they don’t alter it any further.
You add your card thinking you can remove it at any time
PayPal: “All too easy.”
Paypal has altered the deal. Pray they do not alter it further.
Add another card, in my case I used a virtual card, then you can remove that card. If you use a virtual card you can invalidate that card when you’re done.
I tried it already. Still not working. Tried to chat with customer support, but they only open at 8am. It’s around midnight here.
They did this to me decades ago and I ended up having to get a new card so the old one would no longer work. I haven’t used paypal since. Fuck them.
They locked my account and are holding my funds for 6 months.
Some people in this comment section would probably find a way to blame it on you lol.
Hold my beer
Ahem
It’s your fault because you used PayPal in the first place.
That’s the one take where I agree with the victim blaming lol.
Yeah, how dare you use one of the oldest, most widely accepted forms of online payment, right?
I remember all the victim blaming back around 2010-2011 when PayPal users were getting banned on Steam because of random payment holds PayPal was conducting. They’ve done some really shady things over the last couple decades.
Side note, would recommend considering a bank that doesn’t support the fossil fuel industry. Sadly, Chase is among the worse offenders.
Are there any banks that don’t support the fossil fuel industry?
I contacted my bank just to make sure. This YouTube video talks more about it & the description some resources to help you find an alternative. I’ll provide the creator’s recommended links here too:
Atmos, a bank that actively funds climate solutions.
mighty deposits guide, let’s you browse Eco friendly banks.
bankforgood, also let’s you browse for banks. Don’t think you need to add your personal information to search even though it asks to.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I’ve been trying to change my account region for 10 years without a coherent or positive response so far… good luck with that.
I had the same issue with Google Workspace. Could not terminate my subscription until I “deleted all apps”, and apps list was empty. My pre-cancelled tier did not have customer support privileges.
I had to cancel my credit card and have been getting warnings about being sued if I don’t add a working payment card.
I’m sorry but WTF is a Star Wars credit card? And why?
For buying large moon sized weapons and getting points
Fair enough
because stupid jedis keep shooting a hole in your aesthetically designed weapon of planetary destruction
It’s a Chase debit card. Just has Star Wars branding on it.
It was free. So why not?
It’s just a debit card with a custom design on it rather than the default chase design.
To prepare you for the future when the police stop you and ask to see your Disney papers.
After all if you don’t exist to Disney, you don’t really exist at all.
I mean yeah I guess a bug is clearly mildly infuriating. But it’s also a bug. And the way your title is phrased, it’s like PayPal is intentionally preventing you from removing your card. Which it doesn’t seem to be pointing to here. Like I could imagine if they don’t want to let you have no cards on your account without completely closing the account. But the message would say something like that. Like "you’re required to have at least one valid card on your account. " The message isn’t just going to say something like “please try again later” unless its a bug. That’s just telling you that a bug happened and you may need to contact customer support to resolve it.
Why would you be so sure it’s not intentional?
In my country insurances won’t let you buy one that is necessary-to-drive by adding such “bugs” and impossible captchas for newbie drivers and motorcyclists. Works like a charm in a court - they just say it was a bug

Lol. PayPal wanted me to jump through more hoops than my bank when my legal name changed after I got married. I literally provided them with documentation and they wanted me to send them a physical notarized official copy of my marriage license.
Call them
Don’t wanna. I hate talking to customer support. I guess it’ll work after a while.
I hate talking to customer support more than most but this would be solved almost immediately if you just called. The only thing mildly infuriating here is your own obstinance.
Right. Never mind that it’s a company whose whole deal is handling finance and it fails to do basic shit like this. It’s my fault that I don’t wanna waste half an hour talking to call center employees who will keep mindlessly repeating bullshit.
Also, just checked.
Customer Service Hours
6:00 AM PT to 6:00 PM PT Monday through Sunday
Bugs happen man. Software and technology is not perfect. Sometimes it requires human intervention like customer support. I understand. It’s frustrating that they have business hours. But would you rather deal with some random dude who can’t actually do anything for you because they’re so limited? Cuz that’s what a lot of 24-hour customer service lines are. It Is just some person who is just there to placate you and escalate your problem to someone who can actually do something about it. Or would you rather just wait? I mean you actually said
I guess it’ll work after a while.
Which seems pretty obvious Indication that you don’t have a problem waiting to resolve this even though you want it resolved now.
So, what’s your point? That I shouldn’t complain? Cuz that’s exactly what I’m doing here. It’s not like I’m standing with pitchforks in front of their office.
Never mind that it’s a company whose whole deal is handling finance and it fails to do basic shit like this
So bugs aren’t allowed to happen as it’s related to finance, which is this company’s main area, because otherwise they’re incapable of handling these matters?
Honestly, yes. And if they do, I shouldn’t be blamed for being bummed about it.
I worked for them a few years ago.
Try using a browser, if that doesn’t work, clear the cache and cookies and try again. If it still doesn’t work, try a different browser (the one they’d usually recommend was Firefox). If that doesn’t work, customer service should be able to remove it for you.The system is dumb, the security system is automated and did weird shit at times. One of the error codes in the document we had was labelled as ‘WTF happened?’
So yeah. PayPal are kinda wang sometimes.Well, that’s certainly an interesting perspective you got there. Can’t really agree fully but to each their own I guess.
Best of luck getting this resolved
Forcing someone to use a different form of media to get acceptable support for your product is pretty bullshit. If I can sign up for, pay for, and use your product for years without a telephone, I shouldn’t suddenly be forced to use a phone to get support.
Even if that might be the best solution at this point, it’s still garbage and something to justifiably complain about, especially considering it’s mildly infuriating we’re talking about.

what cunt?

just certain that there are many reasons someone wouldn’t want to call a service centre, and being shitty to someone ain’t gonna help
or is saying ‘ain’t’ too incorrect for you fuck wit.

You come in saying shit and are surprised when people call you a fuckwit, then try to say they are triggered?
Kinda a fuckwit thing to do really.
Did you actually pay money to have adverts on your bank card 😭
It’s free. I think it’s a little weird to see it as advert, tho. Would you say wearing an AOT tshirt is advert?
wearing an AOT t-shirt is an advert
Idk what AOT is, but branded t shirts are pretty much advertisements by definition.
If it’s listed as a “Chase Disney” card, you paid for it somehow
Not directly at least. I don’t pay for the account since the fees are waived if some criteria are met. I guess they do make money from me by investing my money, so I am paying for it in some sense. But I do need a bank account, so whatever.
Are you actually crying about someone having a cool image on their debit card for something they are a fan of?
