Hi harlequ1n

You dont need paypals email address try this but read through thoroughly it first

How do I add money to my PayPal balance and how long does it take?

To add money from your bank account to your PayPal account, you’ll first need to confirm your bank account. When you confirm your bank account it allows you to add money from your bank to your PayPal balance.

To add money:

1. Log in to your PayPal account.
2. Click Add Funds near the top of the page.
3. Click Transfer Funds from a Bank Account in the United Kingdom.
4. Enter the amount you wish to add.
5. Click Continue.
6. Review the details and click Submit.
7. Click View the details of this transaction to see the expected clearing date for the funds transfer.

The funds will become available in your PayPal account balance in approximately five to seven working days.

You can view the current status of your bank transfer by going to your PayPal transaction 'History' and checking the transaction status:

• Pending: you requested an electronic funds transfer
• Processing: your request for funds has been sent to the bank
• Completed: the funds transfer to your PayPal account has been completed and the funds are in your PayPal account balance
• Refused: your funds transfer was rejected by the bank.

Note: Once you begin a transfer to add money there is no way to cancel or undo the request we've made to your bank. This is an automatic process which your bank begins when you confirm your request to add funds.

I'm having the same problem, but you won't get a straight answer from PayPal unfortunately.

They either can't (genuinely), or won't tell you exactly why the option is gone to pay via bank transfer. They will tell you it's either automatically been blocked (but not why), or to wait and see if the option comes back.

They won't have 2nd or 3rd line support get a definitive answer for you either I don't think. I'm trying to get an answer myself, and I see many people asking in these forums, with no answer.

They may say use a card, but if you are sending money to a friend you will need to pay the fee, bank transfers don't incur a fee.

Good luck.
