We are a US company with an Australian Business PayPal account loaded with Australian bank accounts, which we have been using for Australian transactions. However, due to a change in business circumstances in Australia, we would like to pay money from that Australian PayPal account to our US bank account. That should be fine and the PayPal system apparently allows a US bank account to be linked.
However, when I follow through the PayPal "Link Account" online process I then get asked for our US bank's "BSB Code - A 6-digit number, usually found on your bank statement" and "Account Number - A 3-17 digit number found in your online banking or on a bank statement".
Those appear to be specific to Australian bank accounts, even though I am in the section to add a US account. I think BSB numbers and that sort of account format are only used in Australia (and New Zealand)!
So how do I add our US account?!
Thanks for your help.

You may get more luck posting this on either the Australia forum OR the U.S forum as this is the UK forum.

Really? Oops. Thanks for that. I specifically answered "yes" to the Australian question the PayPal forum asked when I started, but I see from the breadcrumb trail that you're quite right. Thanks - I'll post on those forums.
