Two small deposits not paid into my bank account yet to confirm change of bank details

Hi

 

To cut the story short a little, last Thursday I mistakenly removed my linked bank account from my Paypal account.  Anyway so I had to set up my bank account details again. I gave all the correct details. After which it said Paypal will deposit two small amounts into my bank account, and I'd then need to enter those amounts to confirm my bank account. It said this will take 2-3 days. However 5 days(and 3 working days) on from that, I have checked my bank account and I see these two small deposists have not been paid into my account yet for me to able to confirm my bank account.

 

Can you give me some advice on this please.  Thanks.

Hi Kirstyw,

 

If you have initiated the verification process on the 31st of May, the two deposits may not have started processing until the 1st of June. 

 

This process takes between 2 and 3 working days so this means that today would only be the third working day. Have the deposit amounts appeared yet in your bank account?

It is bloody frustrating that it takes more than 2-3 days to get confirmation of one's Bank account. By bidding for items on ebay. I did not realise that I have reached my sending limit. Therefore payments to sellers could not be honoured since  the 3rd of June 2012. Yet Paypal was able to make many withdrawals from that account on 6 June 2012. Today is the 9th of June 2012, no small deposits have appeared on my account yet. I know there was the Jubilee holidays that is no reason for the delay. I feel bad because I am unable to make payments to the sellers who think I am unreliable. Ebay should take this problem in consideration.

I hope Paypal gets this sorted soon.

Hi Benbenben, 

 

When you are verifying your PayPal account is does not affect you receiving payments. If your sale ends the payment should populate on your PayPal account and you will receive an email notification to tell you have been paid. 

 

Please do however continue the verification process and you will need to lift your sending limits to complete future payments. 

 

I hope this helps

This whole process is a total pain,I have been using paypal for many years , now I want to start selling on ebay I need to verify my account, they have my bank card details and yet still require a direct debit, you do not need a direct debit to put money into an account and I cannot get an answer as why this is needed!

 I have reluctantly completed the direct debit mandate and I have been waiting since 18th September , it is now the 21st and these amounts have yet to appear, I spent hours on the phone the other day trying to sort this out, to no avail, total mess and putting me off even bothering, why is this so hard??????? I have better things to do that check my bank account repeatedly during the day for non existent transfers
