ENTERED DEBIT CARD NUMBER INSTEAD OF ACCOUNT NUMBER AT THE BACK OF THE CARD

Hello, 

Hope I will get a valid response for this problem. Let me say that I did a human-error which I linked a bank account to my paypal so that I can withdraw my funds. Unfortunately, I mistakenly inputted the debit card number (16-digit number in front) instead of the Account Number (card back numbers) and saved it. Paypal accepted it so I thought it's the correct details, but when I tried to withdraw my funds from Paypal to my linked ATM card with wrong account number, it processed and says completed but did not go in my bank account (because account number is wrong).
Questions is, how can I get back my money? Do I need to go to my bank provider or Paypal can do anything about this? Or will my money bounce back to my Paypal because the account details is wrong? 

Any response would be greatly appreciated! 

Thank You!!

Hi, I encountered the same problem, too. May I know if this problem has been resolved? I really need the money now for my tuition, however, I am new to Paypal and I made an error inputting the card number instead of account number in transferring my money. I am hoping someone will be able to see this and help me.

Don't worry, you will get your money back. Mine took 3 days.

Hi, may I know what did you do to get your money back to your Paypal account? Or will it be automatically reversed?

It has been four days and my money hasn't reversed to my Paypal yet. What should I do now?

I came here again to say that I already got my money back. It took 5 business days. So if you happen to have the same situation as mine, rest assured your money will be reversed to you after it is denied by the bank. I hope I make you feel relieved.
