Hi,
I am very frustrated here. I woke up at 5 am in the morning crying my balls out because I realized the money that I withdrew never arrived in my bank account after 4 days because the bank account I have linked had too many numbers. I thought the bank account was owned by somebody else, which means I have to deal with the person and ask him or her to send it back to me manually. Turns out, after had a nice chat with the Bank of America's manager, he assured me that the number that I linked to paypal does not exist and my number is a unique number, so there is no way it will transfer to any bank account. He told me that since I put the routing number (for Bank of America) when I linked the bank account, that means that paypal must have attempted to send the money to BoFa. But since the number does not exist, BoFa will reject the money, therefore the money will be back to my paypal balance. OR SO I HAVE THOUGHT, after a good 4 days waiting for the money to bounce back, I have yet to see my money back in my Paypal balance. I am very much upset and back to crying in my room in the middle of the night again. I have lost $500. It's half of my rent money. I am desperate to get it back. I tried to contact Paypal customer service for the past 3 days with no success. I am so frustrated right now and wish that Paypal headquarter is here so I can complain about my issue face to face.

It should eventually go back to your Paypal Account like your bank manager says and by PayPal policy. If in 14 days you do not see it, you have to get in touch with customer service to trace it for you. Keep calling them. I hope you have updated your bank info in the wallet so it doesn't occur again.
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

how did you manage to link an invalid bank account number in the first place?
don't you have to verifiy it ?
it wil come back to Paypal and PAYPAL will have to put it back into your Paypal account,but sometimes it could end up in a big suspense account ,you wil have to ask them to trace it.
good luck.
