Need to change a payment method on Facebook, cancel a Facebook payment on Paypal, or just find your Facebook payment settings so that you can revoke and remove a credit card, debit card, or Paypal account? It is so frustrating when you are trying to remove a payment card, Paypal access, or other payment method from a service to which you had previously given it, only to be unable to find where and how to do it, even though they made it so very easy to give that payment information to them in the first place.

You log into your Paypal account, and you see nothing wrong! No messages, no holds, nothing. Here’s what’s going on, and what you need to do to fix it.
