I hate everything

I hate PayPal

I was booking a stay at a hotel in Paris, on booking.com. And when i went to pay I selected PayPal. I am not prompted to choose which card to pay with and the transaction goes through. I immediately get frustrated bc I notice I did not get to choose which card to pay with. I see that a debit card I have gets charged automatically. After calling PayPal they explain to me bc I paid using this debit card YEARS AGO on booking.com they used the same card for this purchase…

They say that I did not read the terms and conditions when I was making the purchase and that if I had I would have known that they may automatically charge this payment method. They also said they would not let me charge my other card on my paypal account. I think that is absolutely crazy. I also contacted booking.com and my debit card company, and nobody is being helpful. The charge is in euros and that debit card has forex fees, and I obviously want to avoid them. It is whatever; the fee isnt that high but it still annoying out of principle

I am mainly mad at the fact that there is so many services “facilitating transactions”, but none of them being helpful when needed.
