OK, well I can't really seem to find anything regarding my issue of sending money TO PayPal FROM my bank (I can only find the more common PayPal to bank).
Before, you could request funds from your bank to be transferred to your PayPal account. I did this many years ago, but I'm guessing this feature was long since removed as you now have to do it via your bank.
Which I did. The first time I tried to transfer from my bank to PayPal it failed saying "Reversal of 25-03 - PayPal CR" ...so it didn't go through. The funds were back in my bank account shortly after. I did this via my HSBC app on my phone.
The second attempt was today, I did it via the HSBC website this time. So I transferred a small amount to test it again. I put in all the correct information (eventually) as I was having difficulty getting the Company Reference correct. The transfer was (successful) according to my bank statement, as it has not yet been reversed. My PayPal balance still reads nothing, and there are no pending payments listed either.
OK, never ind.. i JUST checked my statement this minute, and yeah... "Reversal of 27-03 - PayPal CR" ...what is happening and why am I unable to transfer even a small amount of money to PayPal? I've transferred money TO PayPal once or twice in the past (when it was much easier) and it was always successful and every piece of information is correct.
Is something broken on PayPals end? Is my bank refusing the transfer? The transfer was successful on my end and no errors occurred during the request.
I'd like to transfer money to my PayPal account periodically but at the moment it seems to be an impossible feat. If anyone has any help yhey can provide that would be good! Please and thank you!
EDIT: I just tried to request money from my bank via the PayPal app instead, Estimated to take 4-5 working days though. We'll see if this helps, and it was a lot easier as well. But I still cannot do this via the PayPal website, only the app, so I'm no 100% convinced this will work either.
