Paypal: You cannot add a VBA at this time.(Canada)

ubiq · #**177** 11-30-2013

Hi,

Long time lurker and I've learned a ton on the forum but now my first question.

I have a cdn pp that has surpassed my withdrawl amount and just wondering if anyone has solved the VBA problem?

Thanks

Hi there,

I bought a US VBA on here a couple days ago and for some reason, I can't seem to able to add it to my Canadian Paypal.

Code:

We were unable to process your bank account registration at this time. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please try again at a later date.

Is this a normal occurrence or is this something new with Paypal?

Thanks.

Issues were first reported a few months back.

I cant recall reading any posts to say the situation had improved.

Blackbriarshaw · #**180** 12-18-2013

To those out there who are facing a similar issue, simply ring Paypal up and have them manually add your VBA to your Paypal account. Apparently, it's a common "online issue" they've been having for some time.

@Blackbriarshaw

merged your thread with the 9 page wonder on this topic.

Good for you for working out quickly to get the VBA added manually.

It happened with me when I tried to use metabank with pay-pal did not work.. looks like it's a hit and miss game with this one.

Tried calling again today and none of the representatives could add my US VBA to my Paypal. They kept feeding me the same bs of how it's impossible to add a US bank account to a Canadian Paypal. This is new. Usually, it takes only a call to get this sorted out. Going to try and call again tomorrow. Wish me luck.

If anyone's found a solution to this, please let me know.

Thanks

What was the solution they found to get the VBA added manually? (I went back pages on the thread and couldn't seem to find)

Thanks

Guys, so what is a situation with it right now ? Can we add VBA or real us accounts to CA pp ? And what's the procedure - do we need go through phone verification with automatic system or do we call to rep and answer formal questions?

Please update the info on topic. Thank you!

The procedure is still the same as what has been talked about in this thread for the past year. If you are able to complete the automated phone verification, then you're able to add the VBA.

Definitely with right ID

and vice versa (Can to USA)...I have friends from US who have come up and do it easily.

BiN4RY · #**191** 07-14-2014

But be aware though, any account opening or closing requires you to be physically present at a local branch. You can't do anything over the internet or phone.

Same message, I had yesterday! Canadian PP act, with a U.S. Bank of america, but its from payoneer!! I guess that they know thats a payoneer acct or red flag, because of Canadian acct with a a U.S. VBA... I did confirm a vcc...

rsot · #**193** 11-13-2014

You tried Bank of America account or Payoneer account

entohouse · #**194** 11-13-2014

I've failed adding US VBA - GMAC BANK on Canadian pp yesterday

I've tried several new accounts but seems not works for now.

RLZ44 · #**195** 12-16-2014

So is the consensus to avoid VBA for Canadian PP altogether? A few sellers in the marketplace who were offering Canadian PP compatible VBA's only offer USA accounts in their posts. Would it be best just to stick to "real" bank accounts like Wells Fargo for example?

rsot · #**196** 12-17-2014

I havent tried a VBA on a Canadian account in ages - perhaps you can test and report back?

Oh, the caring advice ...

Why don't you do it.

You're the experimenter around here.

I prefer real bank accounts so use them for my experiments.

I also prefer real accounts. I experiment all the time but it would be good for the relatively new posters to try it out and report back for an update...if he/she wants the quick solution to the question
