We need a thumbs down smiley.

USA to Canada failed.


:mad:

you just called them up and said you needed to add the account? May be my next move :suspicious:

Agreed with this. As of late I've had numerous complaints of international buyers pp accounts unable to complete a purchase.

On a side note I emailed them regarding unable to add an account to a newly created CA pp account. They have not responded. Its been about a week.

I attempted to add a new us bank to a well established CA pp account . This account has been used over a year and completed 100s of traansfers to my us bank. The add seemed to go through. The system was asking to call me to verify identity. To which I presses cancel because the account no was not valid.

I will keep trying and at some point I will call them. My thouhhts are pp is working on new verification or security features and its glichy or they are refusing to add accounts until the system is up and working.

Yeah, an international buyer said when she called they told her the bank database crashed and they are working to get it up and running. As of right now you have to call so they can lift security features for you to add a us bank. I agree with MacBook. Something they tried to do is backfiring in the system, now they don't know how fix it :nono:

Just added a US bank to a fresh CA pp. The verification process prompted a phone call and security code. Googl* voiceish. Once this was completed the bank account was added but not confirmed. i will report back once the deposits are made and account is confirmed.

Here's to hoping the only change has been the addition of a phone call verification when you add a bank account.

Hopefully they get this up and running soon. a large part of my business is international and my buyers are preferring to use other charge cards that I cannot accept without paypal so im losing business.

I havet tried in a a day or so let me join you and see if I have any luck. Going to try one now :typing:

My fingers are crossed that the deposits worked. They did not for me last week.

Found a few threads on other boards about people having the same problem. It's amazing how each paypal phone rep gives them a different reason/excuse.

"it will be fixed tonight"
"it will be fixed in 24 hours"
"it's a new security measure"
"it's a glitch"
"it has been fixed, you can add it now"

etc etc

I have one even better from paypal.

That problem is resolved. You have a problem with your bank account. I can not add your account to paypal.

Um, that is why I called you up paypal. I wanted to have your usual lack of service.

haha yeah that's prob the "best" paypal response to the whole issue.

IF it was feasible, I would send paypal an account from my expenses for calling them, emailing them over the past weeks. They are costing me money.

:mad:

seriously :rant: that was not there response! Im honestly getting fed upu with this issue. :mad:

Well beyond a joke

For some reason it stopped working for Canada Paypals you gotta make a US paypal and add it to that. it should work fine.

Same is happening to me. I have tried w many accounts: from Citi to Bank of America and it always says: "You cannot add a bank at this time.". Intl Account.

today try one fresh Canadian pp account, try the Bankcorp bank, still get message "you can't add this bank at this time."

Wonder if this is going to be permanent:confused:
Lots of trials, different banks and nothing seems to be working. It will be a pain if we have to call pp each time. Not giving up though, there has to be a way

Paypal TR told me that my account had an internal security issue.
And after verifying my account, they told me that I can add an US bank account.
2 days of efforts but I was able to add.

Progress!

Did you add the account yourself or have it done by paypal staff?

Thank you for telling us this little piece of good news.

welp Im game, going to try this calling thing and see how it works out :surrender:

So on my older international accounts I get prompted to have them call first to add vba, when I update the number, then I get the error. Is anyone having this issue as well?
