I don't sell anything on Paypal/Ebay so there would be no disputes/chargebacks.  The last time I bought anythng on Ebay was in February which is way over 180 days. There is nothing in the history of my account that shows anything  "pending". I Goggled "can't remove bank account on Paypal" and found other people, going back years, who have had the same problem. So I guess this isn't a unique problem. It appears to be a random bug that has not been resolved by Paypal. I wonder how many people have had this problem over the years and have just given up. I will probably do the same. My old bank account is closed with the bank and I don't store money on Paypal. My new bank account is active as Primary and working fine. I just wanted to clean up my account with Paypal.  Thank you for your attempt at helping but I am hoping someone who has had the same problem and has a succesful resolution will post. ... View more

No. There will not be any pending transactions, charge backs or disputes in the future. The account in question is closed. An 180 day time window makes no sense. Please direct me to the source that says anything about that. ... View more

After repeated tries two months ago, I still cannot remove an old bank from my wallet. I added a new bank and that is working fine, but I still cannot delete/remove the old bank. At the time I called Customer Service and they tried also with no results. They were supposed to "look into the problem" and get back to me but they never did. They said to wait a couple of days for the "change" to process and all should be fine, but the old bank is still on my account. I tried again today and it will not remove. I just keep getting the same message that I got before  that the Bank cannot be removed due to pending transacation, please try again later. There are NO pending transactions, no disputes,no linked cards, no problems whatsoever, now nor were there 2 months ago. I do not want the bank info on my account, but it seems no one has figured out how to remove it.  If anyone else has or has had this problem and found a resolution, please post it here.  Thank you. ...
