alyctes Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 I'm unable to add a bank account to my PayPal account. It just tells me that's not available at the moment. It's been like this for a week. Anyone know what might be causing this? I have renamed the bank account to match the PayPal account name. Thanks for any advice.

ambient Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Have you used the account on another PayPal account ? I had a similar thing when I set up my artist PayPall account. I phoned them and they did it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trueno Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Is it a deposit account? I tried to use a deposit account so I could withdraw money from ebay sales. It worked for a bit then they got a bit shirty and said I had to have a "proper" current account. I didn't want them anywhere near my personal current account so decided they can **** off. I can still make payments, backed up by my credit card, but as I don't sell much on ebay now I'm not bothered about the withdrawals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machines Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I setup a new account after somehow orphaning my 10 year old one by losing the email address etc. I sold a few bits and funds cleared in 3-4 days, my 3rd item sold and after 14 days (and buyer confirming deliveyr and giving positive feedback) I still didn't have the money. I rang PayPal and they manually verified it and made the money available right away. I am convinced they are holding on to funds needlessly just to make their own balance look good to shareholders but pretending it's for 'buyer protection'.

alyctes Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) Thanks to all who commented. I caved and tied it to my current account. That works. I don't like it, but I'm not making any significant use of it so the chance of fraud is small. Probably. Edit: I closed the account anyway.
