Having trouble to withdraw money to bank account

[Mg637]

Hello Friends Please I am in desperate need of help. I received some money via PayPal thinking it would be easy but it's complicated. I have stopped receiving money since you have trouble accessing your own money. I have waited 21 days and over to transfer my money from PayPal to my bank card. I tried to link the bank account buts it's for US banks only. On the PayPal website there is no way to contact them. And when I tried to contact twitter they aren't of any help too. I really need the money and need help how can I go about this. My account is registered in Botswana Thank you Mg

Think you have to link and confirm a visa credit card in your country to withdraw funds.

@kernowlass thank for your help I have already linked my visa card. Still I am unable to transfer my funds into my card.

Help I have the same problem; can't register a bank account which is not US. How do I transfer the funds received on my Paypal to my local bank account?

Thank you

PS: I live in New Caledonia (french territory in the Pacific).

Hey @EliseV1,

Thank you for visiting our community help forum!

Sorry to hear that you're not able to add your local bank account. For some countries, the option to add and withdraw to a local bank account is not available. You can transfer the funds to a linked U.S bank account or a visa card. You can link and confirm your Visa card to initiate the withdrawals. 

Best wishes,

Bindu

I have linked it to my Visa card; but how can i withdraw the amount now?

Hey @EliseV1,

You can choose your Visa card for your withdrawals. In the Summary page of your PayPal account, complete the steps suggested in the bar under your name and we'll help you get set up. To withdraw money from your PayPal account:

Go to Wallet.
Click Transfer Money.
Click Transfer to your bank.
Follow the instructions. 

I hope this information helps,

Bindu

i have already regsitered my Visa card; i have tried to send to my visan card just now, it seemed to work and sai it xould be done in 5 to 7 days; but then notified me that the transfer had failed; i don't know why. Could it be because i have confirmed my Visa Card today only? 

I have also seen on a forum that an option "credit card auto transfer withdrawal" had to be ticked or something...

Hey @EliseV1,

Sorry for the trouble! Every time you try to initiate a transaction from your PayPal account it goes through a series of filters to determine how much potential risk may be involved. If the system deems any risk, the system may temporarily block the activity. In such situations, I recommend that you to try again at a later date by clearing your cache and cookies from your internet browser or try to use a different internet browser/device. You can also reach out to our team to set up the auto withdrawal in your PayPal account. You can contact us through the available contact options at the bottom of PayPal page for additional assistance. Support is also available through Facebook/Twitter pages.

Best wishes,

Bindu
