paypal wants bank info please help - out of U.S. account
 

I have just made up a new ebay and paypal account. all the info is ⊗⊗⊗⊗. They are asking me to verify a bank account. On the australian paypal website they ask for your name your bank name and the numbers. The only problem is the name cant be changed. So what should I do about this? Please someone help me out!! Thanks

If Paypal work the same as in the uk, the actual name on the account is not that important, for instance there can be hundreds if not 1000's of Paul Jones around the world, it's the account number and sort code that is required..

Please feel free to correct me if i'm wrong anyone..

The name is not important but you can still become verified if you add a credit
card. You can get Bopo and then when paypal get the number they verify you.
It is Ebay that likes names, Paypal likes account numbers: they only work
on the number, not the name.

I can now 100% CONFIRM that paypal DOES NOT TAKE THE NAME INTO CONSIDERATION!

All you need is a real bank name, branch, sort code, and account number :)

does that include a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ address and name to open paypal a/c with your real banking details

On US Bank accounts you can add a secondary name on the account. If you are worried about the name thing see if you can add a secondary on the bank account and what info that they require to do so.

ok what about the address ? can that be ⊗⊗⊗⊗ as well

Paypal wants this:
Correct Name of Bank (? maybe not USA?)
Correct Account Number
Correct Routing Number (may have different terms in different countires).
If you read paypal it says the details are never known to merchants and at this point I think paypal only know the account numbers not personal names.
My thinking is that these details are needed if ever monies need be traced?

The address on the Bank Account needs to be your real info. Paypal never sees the name or address on the account. Thats why they deposit the 2 small amounts thats how they verify its your account.

Hi Does it need to be the right home address as well or ⊗⊗⊗⊗

When verifying paypal account:

Bank account information - Account number, sort code, brand name and location MUST be real. Name does NOT have to be real.

The address on the account does not have to be real either.

yea i have ⊗⊗⊗⊗ name and address. The thing is when entering the bank details it comes up with my ⊗⊗⊗⊗ name and I cant change it. It says that the bank details have to match the name or it wont go through. It must be different to the US paypal

Thanks to everyone for replying. My problem is that when I go to enter the details my ⊗⊗⊗⊗ name comes up and I cant change it. It says that the name must match exactly to the account details or the money wont go through and i will be charged a reversal fee. Im really stuck right now!!

Sarah, not true at all. The name does NOT have to be the same, they say that just to try and get people not to use other people's account.
ALL they need is the account number and sort code (and branch name/loation). Enter your name as Paypal sucks for all they care, it won't make a difference, you will still receive your payments :)

question
 

so your telling me, i can just go apply for a new bank account at any bank where i live, apply that to a new paypal account, this mean i can just use my real name address and it will verify my paypal? but can i use this for my ebay account, and will they supsned me?

You MUST open the bank account with your real info or else you are comitting fraud.

Paypal doesn't see the name or address. Thats why you verify the 2 amounts so they know its your account.

Ive never added a bank account to eBay...you don't need to and I would not reccomend it...but it works the same as Paypal...they only see your Bank Name, Routing Number(US)/Sort Code(UK), and Account Number..

so okay, i make a new paypal account with new bank from any bank i desired (100% real informations) and then i add to paypal, with my real name and address ?

this would work 100% and paypal would verify me through the 2 small deposit even tho my name and address has been use for another paypal account?

Yes it works....when add your bank account they don't ask for the address on the account they only ask for 3 things..

1. Bank Name
2. Routing Number
3. Account Number

Enter it..wait for the deposits usually 2 days..verify and your set to go

You never even enter the address when adding the bank account...The name is Pre-Filled by Paypal, but they don't see it...I have many PP accounts with a different Name and Address than my bank details (Which are ALWAYS real info)

i previously have use my real name and address on another paypal account for ebay that got suspsned, can i make a new bank account from any bank with my real name and address again and apply once again to a new paypal (which was created under a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ name/address)?

Thats Correct.

so the answer to my previous quesion is a yes? iam a total noob at this , sorry if iam a pest and keep buggin you, but i appreciate any information you give.

Going to jump-in here because I have the same question/problem.

1. Going to open a new paypal account w/real bank info., real routing, etc.
2. Going to use ⊗⊗⊗⊗ address or as stated can actually use real address.
3. Going to use real name with this new paypal account.

So far is this correct?
