Unable to link a bank account to my paypal account

[sooty5bish]

Recently i opened a new ebay account, i opened a new bank account last week and tried to add it to my paypal account. However when i try to add the bank account to paypal it says it already exists on another paypal account, but it cannot linked to another paypal because ive only just opened the bank account, has this happened to anyone else?

Yes PayPal has a rule you cannot link one bank account and put it on another one the system detects this.

So that means you need to get a new bank account to add your new PayPal most banks allow you to open up another Bank account for around $25

As long as its a new bank with new account number, it should work

This happened to me a few days ago, I already have a working bank account on the paypal , I wanted to add another and I received the same message and it's a new account.

It must be a glitch , or just a way for you to call in to PayPal so they can verify your Identity , they have been strict lately
