"the bank bounced numerous transactions"

Banks don't bounce anything. Account holders do the bouncing.

Ok, your just not getting it...I understand it is my responsibility to keep the money in the account. The whole point is only one transaction should have bounced but due to the banks lack of notification to it's customers which I know I never received  as I have every statement and all paperwork since the account was opened years ago. I do not get rid of this stuff. Instead the bank bounced numerous transactions.

 The point here is DO NOT change the terms of my account without contacting me!!! The point is not whether I screwed up, because I do know that I did, but I should not be charged fees for them coming up with a new way to process their items and not letting their customers know it. I know of many other people who also stated they were not contacted about the change either.

The trick to avoiding overdraft fees is to keep enough money in your account to cover what you spend.  I you are aware that you made a deposit past the cutoff time, then you are also aware that it won't be available the next day.  If banks are such a ripoff, then I'm amazed that I have held checking accounts for 34 years (starting when I was 16) and have never had a single overdraft.

Because if you are you just proved the point.

It wouldn't matter in this case if it was high to low or order processed because the transaction that you did first(the highest) was the one that put you into Overdraft. 

Also, since these are debit card purchases, it shows that "opting-out" would have kept you from getting these OD fees.  Of course it would have blocked you from purchasing that $30 item, but you can't have it both ways.  You either allow them to block it or accept the fees as per their terms.

As for the deposit, you need to look at their funds availability schedule as well as the posting order for deposits.  Most banks will deposit credits before debits, but some post debits before credits.  However it is YOUR responsiblity to be aware of this.

Issue you fail to notice.  I have $20 in my account.  The day before I deposit $50 though a check or some other methode but I do it after the 2pm time line, so it is next day.

Next day I charge $30 for something I needed then I put gas in at the pump then go in the store and buy something.  Then go to work and buy something.  Then check my balance to see,

Charge $30 -$10 + $30 overdraft

Charge $5. + $30 overdraft

Charge $1. + $30 overdraft

Charge $3.5 + $30 overdraft

Deposit $50 = remaining balance -$89.5

Plus since your pay day isn't till next tuesday 5 days away thats a $5 charge a day.  

That you intentionally overdrafted your account because you "knew" they posted transactions in a certain order.

After all the ONLY way you can get overdraft fees is if you overdraft your account.  If you don't overdraft your account it doesn't matter how they post them.  There is no way they can turn a positive account to an overdrafted account by changing the posting order.

I would bet that you were notified.  Either when you originally opened the account, or were sent a change of terms at some point.  Yes those pages of "fine print" are actually important.

Now, here is your other issue.  As of last summer you had to "opt-in" to the banks overddraft protection.  During this time the banks sent out notifications and unless you "opted-in", any point of sale transaction(Debit Card/ATM) would be declined if you do not have enough money available in your account to cover it.  So either you did "opt-in" or you wrote checks/ACH transactions that are not covered under the new regulations.  If in fact you did "opt-in" your next stop should be to go to them and "opt-out".

By the way this is pretty much the standard at most other banks and credit unions as well.  So don't think changing banks is going to solve your problem.  The only sure way to avoid overdraft fees is to properly manage your account and not overdraft.
