A little while back i bought 2 items on ebay both for £3 each and paid for them on pay pal and had £11 in my bank account, a week later i went to the bank and there was £11 in it. i took out £10 because ei thought the pay pal would have already completed because its normally instant. now a few days later there are 2 charges of £76 because they hadn't taken the money out of pay pal straight away. Now i am £150 overdrawn, there going to keep taking £150 out a week until ive payed back (impossible with no money and a huge overdraft) i am 16, the only income i get is £30 a week EMA (what you get for going to college to spend on food, college stuff, transport) and to be honest this is the cherry on top of a really sh*tty Christina's life cake! is there any way i could get rid of the charges or...?

Actually, yes. Call your bank. If it's the first time you have been overdrawn, or the first time you have been overdrawn in awhile, they might reverse the overdraft fees. But, it's up to the bank because you were in the wrong. Never assume a company will do this or that, always be sure that they took the money out before you spend more. You should have checked with your bank before you withdrew the money, online banking works wonders. But as I said call your bank, they might do a reversal.
EXACTLY the same thing happened to me about a week ago... I went to the bank and complained and the lady almost cried when i told her my story and if there was anything she could do.. she would've done so... I ended up paying $250 in fees for $0 used out of the account and i closed it. Good luck but i don't think there's anything u can do =[. Your best bet is to pay your bank the money u owe and close the account. Then send paypal a money order. Cheers
Which bank are you with? Send me an email and let me know as I can help you with this as a bank employee myself, they shouldn't be charging you if you're under 18.
Ouch, talk about robbery. Sorry to hear about that. Doesn't sound right to me, maybe try talking to them about the charges.
