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

Canadian Paypal. Meta Bank VBA.

I've been getting this error on all of my new accounts. I'm doing the same as usual.

Anybody else lately?

I heard they are starting to blacklist metabank, I have couple accounts that use them and workin fine but others have mentioned that Paypal is not excepting , rather metabank doesn't want to deal with Paypal due to fraudulent chargebacka

That's pretty much what I figured. I just wanted to post and see if anyone else is running into this roadblock as of ~24 hours ago.

Someone just told me they had this problem with a metabank card 2 days ago , I'm hoping nothing happens to my existing account with that card

I'm also getting errors when trying to make a payment on Ebay for items...

"We're sorry, but we can't send your payment right now"

I'm getting the same thing with BOA too

I think US VBA's for CA accounts is dead, or they're working on something right now.

MetaBank: fail
BOA: Fail
Chase: Fail

Maybe their just working on something because I know BOA works great I have few accounts

Meta bank is a no no for any paypal anymore.

Avoid it.

Yeah, they might be working on something... hopefully.

This all started less than a day ago, so I guess there's still a chance it's a problem and they're working on it.

Meta Bank can be flaky.

Comes & goes as working

:ranger:

Yep I've heard, but now BOA and Chase are giving the same result.

Is this for paypal Canada or paypal USA?

:spy:

It's for Paypal canada when applying an American VBA

That's right.

For the microdeposits? Wow about BoA and Chase - Metabank is very dangerous and can instantly lead to limitation.

BoA is doing the same (with microdeposits)

How are you making your accounts? I'm starting to think it's a VPS thing

Anybody actually able to add a US VBA to CA Paypal? I've been trying different things to try and pinpoint the problem and no luck.

When I add a CA bank account, that goes perfectly fine. I think adding a US bank account is DEAD.

US vba or regular bank account?



I just did a British Colombia paypal & attached a US bank account fine.

Not on VPS.

May I swear? :rolleyes:

Did you use one of the common "cheap" VBA's?

Nope, not at all.

:spy:

other bank that failed
 

Capital one .NA failed.( former Ingdirect)

Still having problems?

Yep same thing. Can't add a US account to CA paypal.

paypal wants to call the phone number registered with them,but the issue is the phone number is not in use any more.

tried to go to" profile" update a new phone number,if it was a mobile phone number ,paypal will send a code to verify you own this phone number.

I did not have a phone number that can receive their text. have not tried to add the landline phone number.

I recently have the same issue,I can't add a us bank to a canada paypal

Yeah, seems like they might be fazing out the US accounts. I've been getting this error constantly on new, fresh accounts and VBAs.

Maybe try calling Paypal anonymously from a totally diff number to ask if Canadian accounts accept US banks anymore , just say ur thinking of opening an account

May well be changes afoot.

Did you notice this thread at all? That's all together scary

Yeah I noticed a few weeks ago. I hadn't made any accounts for a while then saw that. I freaked out and didn't notice the "optional" until a few seconds after.

I think they put it there just to fish for people willing to show it, but it's still very optional and I didn't have any problems with new accounts thereon... well, except for now with the US VBA's.

:heh:, same thing happened with me, freaked out for like 5 minutes, before noticing the "optional" word.

Used a normal US bank account 1 week account ago - hmm will revisit.

BC accounts eh GB with USA account - may I ask what US bank?

Any update on the situation?

If they are asking for SIN as optional for now, it means that soon it will be required by Canada revenue. We are ****ed ...

It will never be "soon" required - Canada Revenue is very good for keeping SIN numbers out of non-governmental agencies UNLESS you are employed. The principle of SIN is well protected and is often VOLUNTARY not required...should be PP try to make this a requirement, they would violate many rules about it - PP is too smart to do that.

I really hope you are right!

Any update on a resolution for this? Ive gotten this error when attempting to add a US account to a Canadian PP. Even attempted a small local credit union and received the same message. You are unable to add a bank account at this time. "this is not a VBA, but a real account at brick and mortar bank"

Maybe US accounts are phased out completely?

No updates, nothing new. Can't add US accounts, period. So yes, I think they are stopping US accounts. My guess is they caught on, or have alot of people from the US opening CA accounts because it's "easier" (ie no public database).

Consequences of this will go right across every country using paypal & permitting US banks as part of usage.

I have not checked paypal ca for policy updates since Monday. (June 3rd)

Anyone aware of any emails with info for paypal Canada

:spy:

:canada:

do anyone called to paypal to ask about cannot add US bank in CA paypal problem?
