paypal is not paying ebay fees from the balance any longer due to a glitch
the funds come from your back up funding source, even if you have the funds in your paypal balance
this is a new glitch and can make you get NSF fees when thaft a draft a cheque from your bank account instead of your paypal balance
most of the paypal CSR staff are not aware of the glitch so they give you nonsense, time wasting run arounds and fake reasons for the issue
call paypal at 1-888-215-5506 if you need your fees back, and keep on them, they are totally responsible but will blame ebay, they wasted almost 100 hours of phone time until they finally admitted the glitch
they really are quite arrogant at paypal lately, it will be good when ebay dumps them like yesterdays lunch
