Zikten 06/01/20 11:22:41 AM #1:	I dont usually have that much money and I was down to like 800 bucks yesterday. And last night I happened to be checking my account online and someone made 2 massive ebay purchases on PayPal somehow. Wiped out my savings. Almost 300 dollars in the red now. It shocked me big time when I saw that negative balance Anyway I got the card canceled. And might be getting my money back but this really sucks and is a huge pain in the ass <cite>Zikten posted [p:940023492] in Debit card...

Make sure your bank just flat denies overdrafts, instead of sucking it out of other accounts. <cite>Questionmarktarius posted [p:940023546] in Debit card...
