Hi everyone,
I also tried adding a TransferWise (UK) virtual account to my PayPal wallet, but that did not work for me either ("We're not able to process your request right now" error).
So people are saying that if you call support you could link the accounts, but then only to transfer money from PP to TW, you still could not use TW funds to pay through PP. Only Canada TW seems to support direct debit for now, so not even sure this is the case for everyone.
Linking the TW debit card also does not work. PP lets you download a pdf with the transfer details to be mailed to a bank to get going with the confirming micro-transactions, but I am not sure on how to proceed or that would work.
I hope once they manage to make direct debit work this won't be an issue any more.
P.S. TW help says:
When you send money to TransferWise, there are a few types of bank accounts that [TW] can't receive from, because they don't include your name as the sender. These include [among others] PayPal Accounts.
PayPal and borderless accounts [however] can be linked. PayPal sends you two small deposits and you'll need to confirm the amounts so they can verify your account ownership. But, if PayPal is trying to debit your borderless account to pull these amounts back, it won't work. This is called debiting and your borderless account doesn't support it yet. Don't worry, [they]'re working on this feature already!
If linking your borderless accounts to PayPal fails, you can get proof of account ownership by going to the Balances section of your [TW] account, choosing the balance you want to link to, then clicking on More and Download a statement. Because this statement has your name and account details on it, it works as proof that you own the account.
Essentially, [they] cannot receive money from any bank account where the transfer to [them] will not bear your name as the account holder, and will instead be a third party name. [] This is also the case when adding money to your borderless account. [They] can't accept deposits from any account which doesn't bear your name as the sender.
