Thank you for your input Jojo. Everybody seems to agree that waiting a few days will work. I'm just nervous because my balance is growing by the hour...

Actually there is a method I have figured out that will work but it won't come for free. Took me countless hours and hours to figure this out.

I offer you a slice of pizza and a picture of a 55 year old Middle Eastern Stripper.

I offer three hundred fifty million USD.

Nah, but really. I'm not seeking paid advice. Thanks anyway.

All I'm going to say is think hard about all the ways to add a bank account.

[phaz0rz]

Oh trust me, I've thought long and hard about this. I only know of two ways to add a bank account. Neither has worked yet.

I've done all those ways, you must be talking about a different type of security check.

I am talking about how to add a bank account security check. There is a way around that. I haven't figured out the security check around the first transfer after adding the bank account yet but am close.

You haven't tried everything BNB. There is one more way just think outside the prism.

The only other way I know is to call paypal and have them manually add it. I have done this with alternative bank options.

Have them manually insert the bank accounts with a made up bank statement is the only thing I can think of.

Day 3 and I still can't add my new bank account.

Would I be able to just call paypal and have them add the bank account manually? Do they require a bank statement for that?

That works, be sure to use your phone number that is linked to the paypal

I don't have it. Guess I will have to keep trying online.

I would go ahead and add a phone as soon as possible. or just start new

Starting fresh would be devastating for my business, but I have considered that since I have a few ebay/paypals without any bank account attached. I could slowly migrate my sales to those accounts, but I would really hate to abandon the three accounts I mentioned in my original post. The busiest one of them has 4000+ feedback with $123k in sales last year (from may to dec).

I don't think your suggestion of trying to add a phone to this account is a good idea, and I don't think it would work either. Paypal will see that and say to themselves "why the hell does this guy need to add a phone after so long?". They will suspect identity theft and it would become even harder for me to add a new account.. they may even limit the account if I tried that.

Adding a phone number is really common.

BUT it will not help this problem in any way. It is ORIGINAL phone number. It will help when calling in for the future.

if u add a new phone number you should be able to use it for verification within 24 hrs or after 9 when their system updates.

Never heard of that working, have you tried this yourself and if so what methods and phone service did you use?

This is not working. The number I added is half year ago, still not working.

Well maybe it's time to try a new number then, not that hard really..

[phaz0rz]

I do not think adding a new phone number will help my situation. They would be expecting a call from the original phone number on the account.
