A little rant please! So I made a large purchase using my PayPal account, being relatively inexperienced with PayPal I was unaware that there was a pull down tab to choose form of payment (Checking or Credit Card). I went thru with the Checking account since Paypal said if there isn't enough funds to cover the transaction, it would then default to charging your Credit Card.
I figured I'm earn the "Frequent Flyer Miles" on my credit card and came up with a brilliant idea of transferring all but $10.00 in the checking account so it'll seamlessly recognize the lack of funds and charge my credit card.
NOT THE CASE! They not only attempt to withdraw the money once, not twice.... but would attempted it a third time before charging your credit card! I was hit with an overdraft fee by my bank and luckily caught it before they raped me of more money!
Very frustrating that a large financial institution such as PayPal would not take the overdraft fees into account on behalf of their clients and would be so wreakless as to accrue overdraft fees needlessly. An slight oversight or glitch for a multimillion dollar financial institution filled with Ivy League graduates lacking common sense!
Off my soapbox.... thank you.

Well, you only struck out on 3rd strike, so they have to try 3 times with what you asking them, before going with the alternative. Ivy League graduates use their common sense. They don't expect a person to ask them charging his account AFTER he emptied it! 
They're not fortune teller!
