How to verify my account?

[tuzie2611]

I know this question has been asked before and I have tried the solutions given there but nothing is helping. I'm from South Africa and have received some funds into my PayPal account that I would like to withdraw to my bank account. This is the only way South Africans can access their PayPal money. The process suggested was to verify my PayPal account then link my bank account to my PayPal account. What is the way to verify my account? Someone said that I have to link my bank account to my PayPal account to verify but I've tried this multiple times and it keeps saying Bank Account invalid. The names on both accounts match and the account number and routing number is correct. What else could be the problem? Is there another way to verify my account? Please help. I need to transfer my money. Thank you.

How can I transfer funds from my PayPal account to my bank account in South Africa?

Transferring funds from your PayPal account directly to your eligible First National Bank of South Africa (ETF) bank account is easy and secure.

To transfer funds, you must first link your PayPal account to your bank account.

To link your PayPal account to your ETF account, follow these steps:

Log in to your FNB account at www.fnb.co.za.
Click on PayPal Services and then on Link PayPal Profile.
Follow the instructions to link your accounts. You will need to sign in to your PayPal account to confirm that you are the account holder.

After linking your PayPal account to your ETF account, follow these steps to transfer funds to your ETF bank account from your PayPal account:

Log in to your FNB account at www.fnb.co.za.
Click on PayPal Services and then on Withdraw from PayPal.
Enter the transfer amount in USD dollars. (Please check that your PayPal balance is sufficient to make the transfer.)
Follow the instructions to confirm the exchange rate, the Rand amount you will receive, and the Transaction Terms and Conditions.
You will be directed to PayPal to sign in and verify the amount you are transferring to your ETF account.
Then you will be redirected to the FNB site. Your funds will be transferred to your bank account within 3 to 6 business days.

Hi. Thank you for replying. However, it has not answer my question. To link my account to my PayPal account, my PayPal account needs to be verified. How do I verify this without using the method of linking a debit/credit card or bank account to it? Perhaps if you could read my question again and it could make things clearer? Thank you
