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!!

This happens to me just now. Reading the past post on this thread makes me think that this had happened many times now and paypal still doesn't update their method on linking bank accounts to paypal accounts. I guess all i can do now is wait.

I have the same problem, too; I already contact the bank and tell me they couldn't do anything and ask to contact PayPal.
I hope my money will be back soon. 😭

Hi, I've encountered the same problem and just realized it on my 4th day after requesting a withdrawal. Is it 5 days after the "transfer completed" thing and is it automatically transferred to your paypal account back? Did you contact your bank or it automatically got refunded back to your paypal account?
