Adding money to my balance

Why can't I add money to my pp balance from my bank???  I was successful once, 3 weeks ago, then could not again.  After calling and speaking with 3-4 different representatives on the same number of times.... it still says "oops, there was a problem adding money to your account"   Why????   I don't get it.

The last 2 reps told me I should be able to in 72 hours.... I waited beyond, but to no avail.  Again,  why???      Thanks,  this4jee

If it isn't working at the moment (probably some security flag from multiple tries), then you do not need to add funds to PayPal to pay anyway. Select your bank account or another as funding source when making payment.

 

You can make two kinds of bank payments:

Instant Transfer:

Note about insufficient bank funds:
