Paypal!! Can someone PLEASE HELP??

Question

I'm about ready to SCREAM!!!! I'm so confused!!!

Okay, all I want to do is make the money from my Paypal account go into my frickin' Bank of America account. That's all I want to do, but I'm having the hardest time. I tried to add my BofA account to Paypal, but I guess it never worked. So, today, my sister added my BofA account to Paypal, but she added it as a credit card. Will this work??? Why is it that when I click "Withdraw" it takes me to a page where I have to add my bank account number?

I'm guessing it's already linked, because when I check my account balance on the BofA website, I'm missing $.30, but there's no explanation of what happened.

This question probably doesn't even make sense. Sorry.

Answer 1

It does. I think you have to have the relevant bank already on your paypal system. Also you receive e-mails to confirm transactions. Contact paypal, they are really good at helping and will give you an answer in about 1 or 2 days.

Answer 2

When you add an account, you have to give the bank routing number (which tells paypal what bank your account is in) and your account number. Are you SURE you entered both correctly? Go into you bank tomorrow and tell them you are having trouble setting up a direct payment to your account. Ask them to write down the correct routing number and account number. With that paper in hand, try adding the account to paypal again. I set up my paypal account and added a savings account earlier this week and had no problem. I work at a bank, so I know exactly which numbers are which.

If paypal charged your account. It is probably part of the process to verify you own the account. For my savings account, they made 2 small deposits (less than $1.00 total). I then had to go back to paypal and enter the amounts of the deposits. That let them know I could access the account statements.
