Can't link Bank Account

I have been unable to link my bank accounts for over a month now! I switched banks and needed to update my banking information. However, I keep receiving a "Sorry, we can’t link your bank account right now" error message. It's frustrating! Especially when you operate your business through PayPal! Invoices and all! I have been through the automated chat with no success of fixing the issue, and it's clearly not an actual person I'm speaking with. Can someone PLEASE help me resolve this issue! I have looked all over for a solution with no success. Especially since it is holiday season, and the last thing a freelancer needs is issues with accepting payment from clients. Please help!

I can get through the initial steps to link thee bank account then PayPal want to confirm via phone. No problem except the system will not except the system does not acknowledge that I already have a confirmed phone number. To top that it will not accept my phone number to confirm based on it not meeting their prescribed format, which was entered numerous times in their prescribed format.

The solution is to NOT USE PayPal and Ebay. Is there any other alternatives? PayPal doesn't care about their pathetic system that doesn't work and they don't care about customer service. I have the same message and my bank account fails to get linked. PayPal is crap.

Belated response, but have you tried using Venmo? not sure if it's available where you are. Not as widely used as Paypal but it's getting traction.
