although I know *nothing in JavaScript, I looked up the code, and compared the source of the paypal page hat the script seems to stop.
everything looked alright.

I noticed that the address of the page didn't match the address the "new" withdrawal PayPal page.

Once I added this:
https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_f...=*

to the pages script is allowed to run, everything worked again :-D

as of 11th of July, the sequence gets interrupted on step 2 out of 3 - it doesn't copy full amount into the input box, where you select which bank account to withdraw funds to.

Any chance you can add these two options:
- automatically click submit button
- automatically return to the main account page afterwards

the final page - "Your Request is Being Processed", may want to have an option automatically return to My Account page; after this

Everything work great; I changed the account from 1 to 0 in the script body;

It clicks "Continue" button on "Withdraw Funds by Electronic Transfer" page; and then it brings you to final confirmation page "Review Withdraw Funds".

Can you make it press "Submit" button too? Leave it disabled by default in script; but provide the option to enable it.

1. [bug]
if amount is greater than a thousand:
example - "From this balance: S1,064.15 USD"

it will only paste into the "Amount box" - "064.15"

So the "," issue has to be fixed.

2. can you include the instructions into the source code how to automate the "submit" button?

That is after I see that script pastes correct amount into the box and correct account is picked every time; I would want to edit the script to automate the submit button;

3. Can you make sure it goes to "Transfer to Bank Account" whenever I press "Withdraw" link; without waiting for the drop down menu?

Nice little time-saver. The URL needs some tweaking for U.S. accounts: replace /uk/ with /us/. Replace in line 9 of the script and also use the GM script manager to edit the include URL.

Here's another PayPal aggravation saver: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/23580
This script will prevent you from forgetting to change your source of funds to a credit card, since PayPal doesn't have the decency to allow us to set that as a default.
