I checked my paypal account and I have 28 dollars in there right now, and it looks like some 1-800-PATCHES tried to charge 140 dollars to my account! luckily it got denied since I dont have the money in there, but that would have sucked if it was on my bank account. I think that was the ultra slim patch maybe, but I might have forgotten to cancel it

Another "Yeah!" for using an alternative to credit cards for doing offers.

What you all don't realize is that the denied charges are what make offers disappear...and then its the same people complaining how there aren't any good offers out there.

Patches is Ultra Patch...
You probably didn't cancel it...

Hmm, I thought Paypal just paid them and then put a negative balance on your account. That's what it says on the website.
But, it does say that it will never charge your back account.

paypal's virtual card is Debit, therefore it can't be overcharged past ur balance.

My card through the bank is also debit. When I get overcharged, they hit me with a $30 overdraft charge. Ebay hit me a charge I didn't know and it got overdrafted. During the 3 days I didn't check my balance and didn't get a letter from the bank, I ate at Wendy's 3 times - $2.10 for Jr. Bacon and Chili. I take a look at the bank and it says -$150 balance for $120 in overdraft fees. Pretty crazy. And, they then tell me that if I don't make it past 0 in 1 week, they will start charging me $6/day.
Lately since I've been close to broke, I've realized how many crazy fees and such there are to bleed you out of every cent you have left by these banks.
Good to hear about paypal though. I also get moneyback on my Paypal card ) Should use it more often.

Denied "unwanted" charges are the ones I take issues with. And that's what these offer companies thrive on.... they make money from the ppl that forget to call and tell them they don't want to continue past the trial offer.
If there were enough good offers, we'd want to keep more of them.
