Help! 

 

I've been trying to confirm my bank account and need a little help... The email I recieved from paypal said that they would schedule 2 $1 transactions to my account that I would have to confirm.  So when I log in to do so, theres no transactions whatsoever.  What do I do? 

 

Confused.

Hi AprilC,

 

To confirm your bank account by random deposits PayPal sends two deposits between $0.01 USD and $0.99 USD to your bank account. After 2-4 business days you can contact your bank to find out the amounts.

I called my bank for the third time in the last 4 months trying to confirm my paypal account.  They looked back to April of this year and do not see the 2 small deposits.  I have removed and readded my bank account info 3 times to have the small deposits resent but still there is no deposits.  What should my next step be?

Hi mant,

 

To get account specific information, you need to speak to an agent.

 

  1. Login to the PayPal website.
  2. Click the "Contact Us" link.
  3. Click "Call Us".

Yes, but it is safe to give them your login and password for your online banking? I can't make myself do it.

Well I did it and it seems fine. Nothing weird happened and I didn't have to wait for days for their deposit.
