No more eCheck?

I just spent 10 minutes in my paypal account and could not find where the eCheck option was located.
Yes, I did the search from the helpless help topics.

I assume you already have a checking account linked to you Pay Pal account?

Oh yes, I have done this many times before.

I have not verified this but it would be unfortunate, given the $5 cap on e-check transactions versus the 3% fee (no cap) on instant credit card transfers.

payment method -----> change -----> eCheck ... just tried it still works

FWIW. not all vendors accept eCheck payments. Perhaps the one you were trying to send payment to didn't?

Remove your credit card registration. echeck will show up.

Not there in my account. Sounds like a call to them is needed, if they have a number.

But I didn't have to do this before. Something has changed.

Yes, it did change...that's the workaround.

OK thanks.
Do they charge fees that way?

I haven't used it for a while, it was $5 maybe still.

weird, I did it yesterday, and I just tried again, I did not have to do any "workaround"
I used send payment, once I filled in the address and amount, it shows as using for example paypal balance or a credit card or a bank account, under payment method I clicked change and selected the eCheck ....
