Paypal finally eliminated the running balance option. :rolleyes: It has irritated me that you have to select the option each time you sign in, but from what I can tell, they’ve eliminated the option altogether with their latest update. I wouldn’t mind being wrong about this one, so let me know if it’s still available.

Paypal is some sort of software that allows you to pay for things buy things on line if you don’t have a credit card. Or so I’ve heard.

Also, “Which” is a pronoun used to ask to specify an item from a specific set.

I have a PayPal account, but I am unable to discern whether or not I should be concerned. Would somebody care to enlighten me?

I checked out my account when this was posted and nothing seemed different than when I’d checked it not long before.
Perhaps \*\*GreenElf \*\*is some sort of power user?

He’s vanished. Maybe Paypal had him snuffed for revealing their antics.

I found the same thing on my last sign in and I was not very pleased. Didn’t look really long and hard for the option, but the initial screen that pops up shows transactions only and no running balance. I really, really don’t like that.

I just pulled mine up right now and the balance is at the top of the left hand side and the transactions are on the right. This is not a problem for me.

That’s how the screen has always displayed on my account, but there’s always been a running balance option to click on in the past. Now I don’t see the option with the latest Paypal screen format.
And… oh… oh… oh… ohhhh… I’m still alive.
