US bank account to UK paypal
 

Hi there
I have an unverified stealth paypal account ( UK ) and I've received a payment larger than 1900 gbp....I have sent the stealth documentation they require ( photo ID - showing that I am from Belgium ) and they accepted.
Now they are asking me to add a bank account because of EU regulations. I have called them and asked them to manually move the funds to another paypal ( friend ) as I will not use paypal anymore and they still require to add a bank account.
The problem is that I do not have a bank account......can I add a US VBA? or how can I transfer the funds from the limited paypal? ( I remind you it is a receiving limit limitation ).
Many thanks for your answers

Re: US bank account to UK paypal
 

none of your suggestions are possible...you need a UK bank.

uk verification requires a uk bank acc as well as ID.

can you get the person who sent you the money to do a dispute and get it back or ask paypal to refund them? and get the money back from them another way?

No, that is impossible...
I have called paypal and requested them to transfer manually...but they told me that EU regulations ask for a bank account or credit/debit card.....but if I will add a uk vcc and confirm it, I am afraid they will force me to add a bank account ( as I told them I do not have one ).....and it is impossible to have a credit card to add to paypal without having a bank account, right?
I really do not know how to move the money from paypal

When I called paypal today I have asked the agent if is ok if I will add a US bank account and she said yes is ok, then the problem will be solved and we can manually transfer the funds in the paypal you request, as we need a financial institution in your paypal or to have a bank account on your name......but I do not know what to do......
do you have any suggestions?
many thanks


P.S I do not know if I should add a uk vcc and verify it and then call them to ask them again to manually transfer the funds, as I have added at least a credit card.....but I am afraid they will be greedy and ask for the bank account and if I will tell them again that I do not have maybe they will ask how do you have a redit card and you verified it if you do not have a bank account?? right??

^ As I've explained to you already, you need a UK Bank Account to 'verify' a UK PayPal account.

A VCC or US VBA will NOT do this.

Open a UK bank account.

I can not open a bank account on a steatlh paypal with different name and also I just want to transfer the funds from this paypal, nothing more....not interested in using anymore this paypal after moving this money.
any suggestion will be really appreciated

and why would a paypal agent said that is ok to add a us bank account?

Re: US bank account to UK paypal
 

Open a bank in your REAL name and attach to the Paypal account.

US banks can be attached to any country Paypal for WITHDRAWAL but US banks will only VERIFY US paypal.

I was hopping not to open a new bank account ( as I already have my real bank account attached to my real paypal ).....
and what should I write in the name field when I add the bank account to stealth paypal? should I leave the same name as stealth paypal?

I was hopping in convince paypal to transfer the money manually ( transfer made by them ).

Re: US bank account to UK paypal
 

Open a NEW bank account in you REAL name.

Add the bank account to the STEALTH paypal using the STEALTH name.

Withdraw the money.

In future you should consider doing a bit more research before blindly receiving a payment of that size into an unverified Paypal account.

Re: US bank account to UK paypal
 

Not going to be much chance.

paypal like everything to be safe.

Your transactions have flagged the account.

Be careful of what you do.
:peace:

PP have seen it all - when they ask for bank account, they mean it. Also Paypal agents can say things that aren't necessarily correct...ask for them to e-mail in writing...then you will see what is really said
