Not a good idea to use a family members details.

There is no need.

Which bank's account are you trying to add?

Its a halifax account

Give it 24 hours and try again.

If it is still not adding then phone PayPal to have it manually added.

Just to make sure, this bank account has not ever been added to PayPal before has it?

No mate has never been used before its only a new account. Would it matter that theirs a slight difference with the spelling or that its an online account

So long as the account number and sort code is correct it should add. Lots of problems on PayPal recently when adding bank accounts though.

Give it 24 hours and try again. If it fails to add again give them a ring :thumb:

Go to the withdraw page and try to add the bank account there. Once added go to the bank accounts section on the settings page and submit the DD mandate. May work doing it that way round.

It's a glitch in PayPal it happens a lot and you need to ring them and have them do it manualy :en:

Same thing guys just saying you cannot add bank at this time :(

Re: Trying to Add a bank account to paypal
 

If the account has only been open a few days then I'd personally wait at least another 3 or 4 days and try again.

Should you then get the same message call up and get the bank manually added.
