How long do I have to wait for PayPal to confirm my direct deposit creation?

I recently decided to set up a direct deposit on my PayPal as I didn’t want to rely on a relatives Direct Deposit for when I get paid at work. I set up everything including sending screenshots of my ID SSN etc. and I created it last week but it has yet to work properly. When I try and go to the “set up direct deposit” menu all it does is refresh and send me an email about my account being verified and it just gives me an error. Is there a wait limit to this?

It takes two pay periods to kick in. I HIGHLY recommend a getting your own bank account to do direct deposit of paycheck. PayPal can suddenly limit your account and you don’t want your paycheck stuck until you resolve limitation. PayPal is not a bank account.


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
