Re: Can't add bank
 

Lets say someone has a savings account with Citibank, will opening a checkings account with the same bank work for verifying and withdrawing from paypal?

Or would it be smarter to create a whole new account with a new bank?

I think it creating a new checkings/savings account with the same bank should be enough... can someone confirm this.

Re: Can't add bank
 

as long as the bank account numbers are different its perfectly safe.. and will work you can have multiple accounts with the same bank.

greendot is blacklisted.

Re: Can't add bank
 

You can still call them via phone and ask them to add the bank.

Re: Can't add bank
 

bringing this back into discussion

Having issues adding banks to post 180-day limited paypals.

Bank is BOFA

Upon calling, Rep asked me why the name on the bank didnt match the name on the account


Anyone have solutions?

Re: Can't add bank
 

Wonder how they knew that maybe the deposits? What was your answer?

Re: Can't add bank
 

no, they could just see the name on the bank account. no deposits were ever made.

theres probably a law that has changed under our noses that allows paypal to view names on any banks being attempted to be added on limited paypals.

you can't add a VCC to a limited paypal, either

Re: Can't add bank
 

Did you just hang up or what's the solution? Money gone

Re: Can't add bank
 

thats what I'm trying to finagle, but the money could very well be gone

its my fault that i didnt keep the CVC code AND didnt keep the bank attached though.

oh well. spilt milk worth 4k.

I have been getting the same error trying to add US Bank account to a limited account that had finally aged 180 days. I no longer had access to the bank on that account. I had to call PayPal and they said they would add it for me. At the time I wasn't ready to give them my account info, but this error doesn't seem to go away and the only option is to call PayPal.

I kept getting an "Unknown Service Error" when trying to add US Bank bank account to my limited account. Yes the account was limited but it stated in the resolution center that I could add a bank account. I called PayPal and luckily got a very young very polite young man that told me he would add it for me. All I had now was a green dot account though so I was a little nervous it would get kicked. But after he came back from putting me on hold he said it's G2G.

I asked him if he minded staying on the line while I confirmed the account was there and complete my transfer and he agreed. The account was there and after 7 months I finally will have my $800.

Re: Can't add bank
 

If greendot dont flag it and reverse the payment . Wouldnt call it over till money is in hand

Re: Can't add bank
 

exactly green dot will only accept 500 at a time and 1000 per month so the 800 will be bounced back

Re: Can't add bank
 

I completely forgot about that. It is a Walmart money card and the issuing bank is GreenDot. I do have a question though. How is a deposit coming in from PayPal that is greater than 500 any different from a direct deposit from an employer that is also greater than 500?

Re: Can't add bank
 

does anyone know of any VCC that can be added to a 180-day limited paypal? because then one could just withdraw a check

Re: Can't add bank
 

most people operate accounts with stealth names, not a good idea to cash checks with different names.

Re: Can't add bank
 

Green dot rules. Only applies to paypal. Been like that forever. It will bounce back. You should of did 490 one day and then the rest of the balance the next day and you would of been fine.

Re: Can't add bank
 

Smart approach to keep below 500.

Re: Can't add bank
 

Tons of vcc can. Problem is you need to check your limitation page and see if it allows it.

Re: Can't add bank
 

I have a business bank and I put the business name in the first line of the address, then use the second address line for my address. Works great.

can someone PM me a VCC that will add to 180 day limited accounts??

I get errors saying I cannot add THIS card. and when I call, they say I cannot add a prepaid card onto a limited account.

Re: Can't add bank
 

I must have some higher power on my side. The money was deposited overnight! I have never had a PayPal deposit clear in less than 2 business days. And I initiated the transfer at 6pm central time. I'm headed to the ATM now.

Re: Can't add bank
 

Ok i been trying to follow along .. Why not add a real bank get your funds out close the bank acc? Or am i missing something else

Re: Can't add bank
 

Money is in hand! Withdrew $400 from the ATM, paid my electric bill, and got $100 cash back at the grocery store. Only $80 left to cash out. I still can't believe the deposit hit the account the next business day. Really I'm surprised it went through at all after what you guys said. This must have been some sort of fluke that just happened to be missed by GreenDot and PayPal. Score one for the little guy!

Either way I'm going to take the under $500 advice if and when I find myself in a similar situation.
