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.

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

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?

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.

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

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.
