I was asking the same question and reading the posts waiting for someone to answer that particular question. Finally, Paypal you got on and gave us the information. I, too, am on Etsy. Thank you.

I'm trying to set up a stripe account to set up receiving payments. I have a debit card for PayPal and I want to use it to receive payments from Stripe. Where can I find my routing and account number?

Routing numbers are for bank acocunts.  You cannot receive payments from Stripe into PayPal.

How Do I Find Account Type, Routing Number and Account Number for my PayPal?

I'm setting up Etsy and apparently they need a place to deposite funds and won't specify what the heck they're actually looking for and I have no idea how to look for that specific information on my PayPal. Please help ASAP!!!

Account and Routing number is found on your bank check.  Account type is checking or savings.

 

If they are asking for PayPal info, use your PayPal email address.


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

Paypal is not a bank,it has no  routing number,it holds our money in banks,banks have routing number and give PAYpal its account number but the fund in the Paypal account  is an aggregate amount,more than just yours,or mine.

ETSY would deposit your sales proceeds in your bank account,just give them the name of your bank,routing number and account number .

Etsy would not send your proceeds to your Paypal account.

Hi @RayRay65, 

 

Welcome to the PayPal Community Forums! Regrettably, we do not have the functionality to allow direct deposits into PayPal. 😞

 

The only way an employer would be able to distribute paychecks through PayPal would be to utilize the "Send Money" feature.

 

I hope this helps to clarify!
