What do I do if the name on my bank account is different from my paypal account holder name.

So I set up a paypal, and then my gf wanted to start doing ebay auctions... so she set up a bank account through my paypal. Now when I try to transfer funds to her bank account... it has her banking info, but my name... I just cancel it before it tries to transfer because I assume it would fail anyway. Help?

I am having a similar issue! So frustrating.  I can't find any questions on this answered anywhere in the forums so far.  😞

Well, the names have to match.

I would start a new Paypal account with the right name.

You can transfer from one Paypal account to another for free using "Send Money" and then withdraw to the proper bank account.
