Anyone else having this problem?

djb2 · #1 05-01-2014

For past couple of days everytime I try and add a bank account on PayPal this message keeps coming up

The PayPal server is currently experiencing some difficulties. Please try again later or contact customer service

Obviously I don't want to ring them as the accounts all stealth but I really need to get this account added so I might have to bite the bullet and go for it.

Is this a way of PayPal making people ring up instead of adding details online or do you think there is a genuine problem with there server.

Seems strange it's been like this for a couple of days now

I would give it another 48 hours or so.

I have never had any issues when ringing PayPal to get bank accounts added, but its still always best to add them online if possible.

If you do ring, make sure you have all your stealth info to hand.

Can you give a bit more info, please. Is this a new PP account? Or are you adding a new bank account, or changing the bank account attached to your PP account.

Wait 24-48 hours - could be a glitch. Also could try different browser.

Also...what bank type are you using? Name of bank?

Saver or current account?

A lot of the time when I've seen this, it has been when trying to add a savings account.

The problem usually does disappear after a couple of days. If it is "urgent" then call them up and get it manually added.
