So my concern is pretty much. My money was withdrawn from my bank account, And it hasn't been applied to my account shouldn't it be added to my account as soon as its withdrawn from my bank account?

It usually takes 3 to 5 business days to transfer money from a U.S. bank account to your PayPal account.

 

Can i ask why you did this? Do you have a neg balance you needed to clear?

Nope I was inactive for a long time on my paypal accout. And recently I opened it up and I guess i'm limited to what I can do or something and I called In to paypal and they said that I have to be active on the website or something all seems very odd. But if I can't spend money directly from my bank or credit card than how am i supposed to be active on the website. so i decided to try this I have a feeling I still won't be able to use my funds. But I was just going to give it a try. And I'm from canada. But no one answers on the canadian forum. And whenever I contact tpaypal they don't answer emails, And they never seem to be able to resolve the issue. @kernowlass

As I understand, you already have a bank acocunt and a credit card account linked to your PayPal account.

You should be able to make a purchase using PayPal and funds will come from your backup funding source.  Has that worked for you?

I had my credit card applied to my account but it wasn't letting me purchase anything from websites or anything for that matter. And it would always say cannot go through with payment at this time please return to merchant and choose another payment method. My credit card wasn't mine I was just using that credit card to see if that was the issue for my paypal not working. But when I first started using my paypal I never needed to use a credit card the funds would come striaght from my bank account. Which is why this is concerning and extremely frustrating to deal with. If for some reason my funds get added to paypal and I cannot use it for some reason I'm probaly just going to send them back to my bank and close my account theres no point in trying to resolve somethign that paypal can't even resolve.

You added a credit card to your PayPal account and the credit card was not your own.  I'm surprised your account didn't get limited.

If you want to use PayPal you'll need to make sure all accounts are your own accounts.

@DPCreations I didn't do it until after I was going through all this non sence because I was trying to do everything that I could. And the credit card being under my family members name and them allowing me to use it knowing there was nothing on the credit card I removed it right away knowing that it didn't help.

@DPCreations And you're bringing up irrelevant issues because my bank accoutns that I was using before are mine. And it still didn't work. I have everything linked aswell. And If using other peoples credit cards is such an issue, They shouldn't allow you to link it to your account because I know that the credit card I was using for a method to resolve this case, Is already linked to another paypal account.

@kernowlass that won't do me any good I've called their support multiple times and they can't even resolve this over the phone. so contacting them over twitter isn't going to do much good.
