I have been trying to link my bank for months, but Paypal has blocked it. I have some money that I need to access in Paypal and they are refusing to link my bank account so that I can get it. They refuse to tell me the reason why they've blocked my bank, other than "security risk." I've had Paypal for around 20 years, and I've also had the same bank account for 20 years. The error message is useless: " This account needs a little help to link it. Contact us and we can help with that, or you can link a different account". If I contact help, I either get a nonsensical page (link to my account transactions page), or I get someone in the Phillippines or India and they make me repeatedly go through the same steps only to tell me to either wait 24 hours or there is nothing they can do to unblock my bank. They refuse to send me to someone who can unblock my bank. I've also tried getting them to send me a bank check. Every time I request a check I get the same useless message: " There's a problem with your address. Please check it and try again. " My address is correct in Paypal, and I've lived at the same address more than 20 years. Once again, customer service is useless, they cannot explain the problem, they cannot send me a bank check, and they cannot send me to someone who can fix this situation. What is the secret password? How do I get someone to fix this? It's been going on for MONTHS, while Paypal uses my money for an interest free loan to fund their poorly designed website and abuse of customers. If Paypal were a bank, this would be highly illegal.
