Instrument currently marked as bad.

[yzos]

Hey, I've been trying to connect my bank account to my paypal but each time it would giving me an error like "instrument is currently marked as bad" or a "can't process this" error. Today I had contact with a helpdesk employee which said that i needed to give a copy of my id and some bank details which were verified and good. She said my bank account for some reason got blocked by their security system and they should be able to fix it. I've been trying to reach out and waiting for replies but I have not heard from them later. My bank account is still blocked.

Hello @yzos,

Welcome to the PayPal Community Forum and thanks for posting!

I am sorry to know that your bank account has been marked as a bad instrument. Unfortunately, you no longer will be able to add it again to your PayPal account as the system has blocked it for security reasons. However, you can certainly link any other local bank account as a payment method. If you need any help, you can do this by clicking on the Help and Contact link at the bottom of every PayPal page to check what your contact options are. Support is also available through Facebook private messages or Twitter direct messages.

Regards,

Ayesha
