PayPal can't verify my checking account
I already had my VCC verified on my PayPal steath account, and a few days after initiating a checking account verification, here's the message I got:
"To confirm your bank account, we tried to make 2 deposits into your CITIBANK ###### checking account. The money was returned, however, because your bank does not recognize this bank account number."
It's obviously possible that the number was incorrect, but I can't check at the moment. Assuming the number is correct though, here are my questions:
-The name on my Citibank checking account is my real name and the name on my PayPal account is the same but with one letter missing (ex. Jef instead of Jeff). Could this be causing the problem?
-From what I've read on here, Citibank has worked well for those who have used it. Anyone have any problems with it? And does anyone know if it has direct debit (can't find anything on that).
-The account is only a few days old so I'm still waiting for the debit card and checks to arrive. I have to call to verify them when they do. Perhaps that's causing the problem?
Someone else mentioned that they couldn't get PayPal to verify their account until after they'd used it to make a Non-PayPal transaction. I'll be depositing some money tonight so I can buy something to eliminate that possibility.
Thoughts?
