Fornicating

So, I have had PayPal for about 6 years, but not used it for about a year or so, but had the need to use it again last week.
I make one small payment for about $15.00 and it goes through no problem, so then I make another payment for $300.00. It tells me that I cannot make that payment as my card needs to be validated. the fact that it was validated 6 years ago is obviously irrelevant to them.
Now I have to ask them to validate the card, which means they are going to send a small credit into my own bank account with a 4 pin code attached, then I have to go back into their site and type the code in, time interval 3 days. Yea OK, bit of a pain in the ass, but whatever.

I duly comply and install the code, so now I can use my card to make the transaction that I want to make.... Wrong!
Now they tell me I have to validate my bank account.... hang on a fuckin minute, they are going to send me 2 small credits into my bank account, with a 4 pin code attached blah blah blah.

Surely, if I had to get the 4 pin code for the goddam card from my bank account and enter into their site, its pretty fuckin evident that its my bank account or I would not have access, so why do the whole thing all over again, and, have to wait another 5 days!!!

Then they e.mail me and tell me its an anti money laundering and security issue..... MONEY LAUNDERING??? $300.00??? what sort of piss poor drug or arms dealer is laundering $300.00?

Or, I can transfer money from my bank account into my PayPal account and wait 7 - 9 days, but they will accept it from my bank account.......... that is not validated....

Come on, your taking the piss PayPal!!
