Hi! I'm a new PayPal user, and a couple days ago I tried to link my bank account. Today I got an email from PayPal saying that my account number basically doesn't exist. However when I first linked my bank account I made sure all the numbers were correct, so I know that I didn't make a mistake. Now I tried to link my bank account once again, and my bank is disabled? I even contacted my bank to make sure everything was alright, and nothing wrong there. So is there anything I can to to fix this?

First, reveiw everything you did, or attempted to do, with your bank account over the last month. It's likely your actions triggered suspicious activity alert and determined that using your bank account was high risk, so it is permanently disabled.
Next decide whether you want to phone PayPal customer service and talk to an agent to see if it can be fixed, or just open a new bank account. Make sure you don't do anything that would raise suspicion with a new account.
