Bank account activated on paypal - can't pay anywhere... why?

[DatGuyKev]

Hello!

So today I got 1 cent from paypal on my bank account and used the code that was sent with it to activated the bank account on my paypal account. Everything worked fine.

But now when I try to pay anywhere (it's not just on one website), it says that it doesn't work right now and that I should go back to the store website. Why? My bank account is activated and it should just take the money from my bank account instead of my paypal account right?

What can I do? Or do I just have to wait because paypal didn't really finish the "linking" with my bank account yet (even though it says it's  activated)?

PS: I'm german so I hope you can understand what I mean...

Thanks!

Gaming sites are high risk.  Does your dad do gaming with his account as well?

To answer your question immediately: My Dad used his Account since mine did not work on Steam. Also I don't think that would have anything to do with risk since paypal is supported by both, but only Blizzard seems to work for me and Steam does not. But, as stated before, my Dads Account did work. We both have No limit Accounts but different bank institutions. It should work and it does not, thats no paypal policy or anything, so I really need help. But thanks for the quick reply anyway! 🙂
