A chick/poult (baby chickens/turkeys) order i've been waiting on just came back to me b/c they didn't get payment- Why? PayPal only knows. I have a backup credit card that they are supposed to use in such cases (and regularly DO use). I checked the card- there's more than enough $ on it. But Paypal claims there isn't.... WTF.

So Now I have to call the hatchery tomorrow, explain, and have them just debit the credit card directly instead of going thru paypal (and have Bug pretend to be me if they need to verify why the name on the Credit Card (birth name) doesn't match the name I use for shipping or even my PayPal card).

This (paypal thinking I either don't have a back up fundign source, or thinking I don't have money available when I DO) has happened to me before- once online, and once when checking out at a store. It seems completely random. Does anyone else have this problem happen?

I did, once--but it was on a transaction to the Czech Republic.

Hey, I hope the Paypal situation works out. Haven't had that particular problem happen, but my partner did get stuck in a loop with them when he moved from one country to another, and they wouldn't accept his evidence of change of address/wouldn't allow him to use a PP account linked to a bank in his original country while living here...
