I have been trying to link my new bank account to the paypal website for 2 weeks now with no success. I keep getting rejected. Its possible the slight discrepancy between the name on my paypal account, and the name on my bank account might be causing this (literally, short form vs long form!), but I can't update my name either! I've uploaded a document to my account that verifies my name, but I'm suspicious that these submissions aren't being processed properly because paypal doesn't seem to recognize my phone number - despite me changing it 2 weeks ago! When I try to deal with the automated service, it keeps telling me it can't find my account. I've tried contacting paypal customer service but no one replies, either by phone or that useless text service. So, there's now money in my paypal account and I can't transfer it out. Why is this so terrible and inefficient?
