Paypal to Bank Withdrawl
 

Okay guys I think I just screwed up....

I have a stealth-ish eBay/PayPal account, none of my personal info is correct on eBay, and my PayPal info has first and middle initials and last name, plus a PO Box, I have had the accounts for about 3 months. I decided 2 weeks ago to start selling some things that I had around the house. My total sells were around $800, and of course I was limited by PayPal after the first payment was received. I had an unexpected bill come up, so a few minutes ago I chose to try and withdraw some of the funds that have slowly trickled into my account ($140) to a bank account belonging to another person who shares my last name. I have looked all over and I cant really find a definite answer for this one... Is this going to screw me since the last name will match, but the first name will not? Is the payment going to get denied? I still have $500 pending to be released by Paypal and I would hate to know that I lost out on this, especially since I need my godd#mn to cover the shipping costs of all the items (all items are shipped, with some type of confirmation for each). Basically I am just wondering what will happen next. Any comments will be appreciated.

update
 

Well, apparently it worked, according to PayPal the transaction is now complete, I am about to head to the bank and see if the funds are really there.
I will let you all know.

By the way, here are so details:
I live in the USA, I am using a local bank, and the bank account was not linked to my account.

Update 2
 

Well, the funds were not there, but I have no idea about the clear time. The bank knows nothing about dealing with PayPal, (small town in middle of nowhere) so right now I am at a loss.

Welcome to the forum =)

If you search around, you will see that a lot of banks accept deposits in different names, period.

You should be fine.
