Re: Can't change bank account on PP
 

How did you sort it out and what happened?

Please tell us in details

Re: Can't change bank account on PP
 

pp seems to get more and more bureaucratic every day, and we all know what happens when a company or country as too much bureaucracy it collapses.

Re: Can't change bank account on PP
 

Edited out.

Re: Can't change bank account on PP

Re: Can't change bank account on PP

Where you been at Elijah? Good to see you back

Re: Can't change bank account on PP
 

Will not worry stealthers.

Work-arounds will always be found.

Re: Can't change bank account on PP
 

I wanted to add to new bank accounts to my paypal accounts, which were after 90 days and I'd say closer to 4 months

I had text plus numbers attached , and even though when I logged into my Textplus account the number was gone due to none use I wanted to see if it would work

And it did , they gave a 4 digit code and I guess the number would be ringing at that point and I'd have to plug in the 4 digit code

So it shows u that any number works, but it needs to be the one that u have had registered in paypal when created or possibly added in for a few months for it to work

But to try to add these services on the fly, just will not work and they are looking for the number to match public records

I think if u make at least a call every 28 days u retain the number in these apps, I'm not sure about Textplus but I know Pinger will email me right before the end of the month and tell me to make a call to retain the number, so this could be of nice value

But I never received an email like this from Textplus so I'm not sure when they drop ur number

And I called in to add and the only other option was the rep needed to ask public data base questions to add the account

The moral of the story , get a working number whatever service u want that u will always have access to

And one other time this happened over a year ago it worked with a GV number that I had access to, but now many are saying GV is possibly blacklisted

Re: Can't change bank account on PP
 

well, a US phone number could be assigned to more than one person. So it's hard to know if a phone number was registered to the Paypal yet.
But the thing is I've tried to add 2 phone numbers into the account. 1 Pinger and 1 real cellphone number of my friend. Both of them don't work. I would say that Paypal probably check the public information of phone number, some kinds of database like Yellowpage,...

stealthers will always find some ways. In this case, try to keep the phone number which was registered with the Paypal account is the safest way. However, what we are trying to find out in this topic is what should we do AFTER we got that error and the registered phone number was ALREADY GONE. Probably money still in the account, eBay account still works well, so trying to keep the phone number alive looks like a long-term strategy for stealthers. Not how to resolve this error. :pound:

In my case, I was trying to send the money out from the account to others. We all know that linking is bad idea but I have idea to do that safely (sorry I could not write it here). I withdrew successfully ~$4000 from the account which couldn't add bank account into. Then still work with that Paypal account but be always READY to receive suspension :mod::mod:

Some of my friends have found some ideas, I haven't test it yet due to so many reasons, but it's reasonable. Why don't you guys try it?
1. Add a VCC to the Paypal account. Confirm it. The verification will be gone
2. Or go to profile's phone number, edit the last digit original phone number. Log out. After 1-2 days, log in and try to add bank account. If it doesn't work, try the next solution
3. Wait. Just try to keep the IP address stable, cookies, everything stable. Pay some big merchants like eBat, hosting services, ... Try to log in everyday, after a certain period of time (weeks, months,...), like a normal user, not a stealther, then try to add bank account whenever you feel confident.

Finally, good luck you guys =}-

Re: Can't change bank account on PP
 

Still no workaround? :pry:

Re: Can't change bank account on PP
 

What do you do at paypal account creation?

What steps do you take regarding phones?

:spy:

Re: Can't change bank account on PP
 

My suggestions and work arounds.

1) Theory: PP is now checking the phone number assigned to the bank account from the bank. I have never heard of this... but has anyone tried to change your bank contact phone number to your stealth account phone nummber, wait a day or two, then try again?

2) Theory: CALLER ID CHECK: I hvae seen this as an issue before with EB veryify. If the caller ID showing (cell phone) on the system is John Smith and your stealth account is Ben Hur, it was giving an error, eventually there was a "I don't own a phone in my name" option. IF this is what is going on then go buy a trac phone, activate the phone then call a phone you own with advanced Caller ID (this will show the name registered to the phone number from trac phone). I used this for other reasons in the past.

Now make a stealth account with that name you found on trac phone caller ID. Change your Bank info phone to this new trac phone number. Now you ahve to send money to this stealth account to withdrawal fudns to bank account OR just start using new stealth accounts with this method.

I HAVE NOT TESTED THIS METHOD YET, but from my internet and banking experience this will work.

3) Theory: Maybe, just maybe F****** PP has finally wised up and found a way to match the names form the Bank. All my bank accounts are real accounts, not VBA with a Mismatched name. If this is the cause then a corporation set up with a simlair name will be the solution. Corps are $70 to $80. :-( New mexico corps are less than $40 but opening a checking account for a business online can be a pain in the ass, not all banks will do this.


Is a VPS triggering this issue?
The few accounts I have had problems with this have all used VPS. This could be a trigger made by VPS detected and it could be a loop to mess with everyone and there is no real solution. Use a new REAL IP , log into PP a few times over 5 days, on day 6 try again.

QUESTION: Has anyone had these problems with a real IP address? Not proxy, VPN, VPS,

I have started to see this issue for 2 or 3 of my accounts. But I have also made brand new accounts with VPS and GV number and added Bank accounts (fisrt bank account only) with no problem, only have this issue when adding a 2nd bank account. Not sure why this happens sometimes.


Also, if you already buy REAL products you can always just buy from your vendor with PP, then sell on EB with the properly made new stealth account.

If that fails you have buying gold bars on websites with your PP account. You can always request a check and deposit it into any business account.

I have deposited the wrong check into the wrong business account 100s of times. Once the check was over $25K and the bank still did the deposit. Banks treat Busienss corp Bank Accounts much different than personal accounts.


---- UPDATE:
I just added a bank account to a new stealth account and no problem. I used the same methods to create and same bank. Strange, almost like adding a 2nd account throws a flag. Maybe I'll try to have PP cancel the current Bank ACCOUNT, write an echeck on the old account after I already close it.

ONE THING is different with this account.... I just realized this EB account is linked to PP for EB fees auto pay. Hmmmm not sure if that would make a difference. I doubt it.

Re: Can't change bank account on PP
 

i really don't think any of y'all are reading this thread...there is no work around..i've done everything i can...if you do not have access to whatever phone number was listed on the account..you're SOL and can only get a check

you can keep calling and calling..but it will not get you anywhere ...if anyone has figured it out..please share..i've spoke with them many times over the phone and through email..it's a dead end and PP is stealing your money unless you get a check

Re: Can't change bank account on PP
 

Your almost right, it depends on how u make your account that determines how many options u get to add a second bank

But the key is to make the paypal account with a working phone number , the number u use on creation must be a number that u will be able to keep

Re: Can't change bank account on PP
 

Then you answered your own question.

Keep the phone number active.

:smash:

Re: Can't change bank account on PP
 

Definitely true on working phone number concept

Re: Can't change bank account on PP
 

It might be strange to some.

But the fact there are posts after posts with users saying there are problems, it appears this has never featured large on the list of sensible things to do with account creation.

:heh:

Re: Can't change bank account on PP
 

There are one of two ways depending on how u make the account to add a bank account , and this is adding an account when it's 3 months down the line ,

I never had a problem adding a bank account the first 5 weeks after account creation,

and the next time I tried was little after 90 days and that is where

I could either accept a call from the number that was on the account and add the code that is given, or answer security questions on the account, which is hard to do

So the conclusion is you need a working number on the account and it can't be added after the problem

And it can't be put in a day or two before u know u will add a bank account, something I tested out, just won't work

Re: Can't change bank account on PP
 

It was originally a GV number. When that didnt work when trying to add BA I tried a trac phone and iphone texting app. None worked.

Re: Can't change bank account on PP
 

so no workaround available?

Re: Can't change bank account on PP
 

No work around, unless you can answer public data base questions on your stealth person , which usually is made up ,, so that is shot because no questions

U need to keep ur original number that u registered with when u made the account, if u are able to add a new number after the security issue than that would make no sense in protecting a hacked account


There has been many data breaches all over recently so paypal holds is a merchant processor and needs to be secure so , you need a solid number when making an account or add it months before a security issue

Re: Can't change bank account on PP
 

Yes there is a work around. I will post soon.

Re: Can't change bank account on PP
 

Tried posting it and got deleted. Happened many times. I'm not going to try posting again only for it to be deleted.

Re: Can't change bank account on PP
 

PM sent - seems deleted

Re: Can't change bank account on PP
 

THANK YOU!! This little sentence just saved me an hour of testing.
I wish more of these posts were constructive like this one.... :-)

Also, I see a few mis understood responses. "Just keep your number ..." Well I keep all mine, GV, and this doesn't work.

Do these posts "just keep your number " mean, keep a trac phone or real cell phone number? If so I do not believe this is the answer but if someone could test this will work I would be grateful.

Re: Can't change bank account on PP
 

I am now having trouble just sending money from 1 PP to the another, with the same name on it. I normally gift money from PP1 to PP2 but now this phone confirmation thing is coming up.

This account is over 1 year old and has sold $3K in sales on EB.

Re: Can't change bank account on PP
 

Hmmm well I'm running into a problem myself. Limited account had to call to add bank. Once bank was added would not let me withdraw I lost access to the phone number n the account. The Alt was to use the app on a smartphone to withdraw guess paypal closed that loop withdraw failed.

Re: Can't change bank account on PP
 

anyone figure this out? ive run into this problem. i have an old stealth account, need to add a bank account. saying they dont recognize my computer, wants to send me a text code, but says "this phone appears not to be in your name" (stealth name). tried a prepaid phone, didnt work.
my phone number on the account is accessible, confirmed.. but not in the name of the account. so now what to do?

Re: Can't change bank account on PP
 

Apparently, still no solution. So keep the phone number (used for registration) always active remains the best practice.

Re: Can't change bank account on PP
 

Thought there was a device not recognized Solution post . About using the pp app on ur puter ? does this not work now ?

Re: Can't change bank account on PP
 

You are correct, here is the thread for the solution to that problem.
