How long does it take to remove a bank account from a paypal account

[Carly101]

Hi,

I am trying to add a bank account to my paypal account but kept getting this message "We're sorry, but that bank can't be linked to any more PayPal accounts. Please link a different bank account"

I have now removed this account from a previos paypal account but still get the same message, how long should it take before I can add the new account

Thanks so much

Not sure if you can but check with customer services.

Click on the words "Contact" at the bottom of your paypal account summary > click on the "call us" option on the left (fees "may" apply so check the cost with your phone tariff first, as you sometimes have to wait a while to connect).

When you get through don't select any options just hang on till you get transfered to an agent or say the word "agent".

OR have you considered contacting Customer Service via Facebook or Twitter?
