paypal wouldn't let me add my HSBC to my paypal account.

As just_smile says, this is my experience as well.
Although the account is technically open its not active for 24hrs (i leave for 48hrs just to be extra cautious). Unfortunately its also my experience that if you get the error when trying to add you have effectively burned that bank account for PP and will need a fresh bank account (be that a current or savings account).

There does seem to be a lot of issues these day with PayPal in adding a bank account. I personally ended up calling them however the best part was I didn't have to speak to anyone! I went through the automatic voice and the account was added within seconds. So my advice is don't wait for them to fix this glitch, just call them to have it added instantly...

Nice tip.
Sometimes this error occurs when your using banks that recycle their account numbers. In such case its not a glitch, its just that PayPal needs to remove the account number from another PayPal account before letting you add it onto your account.
