UPDATE: 5/5/2011 I just learned how to get my bank account linked to my paypal after my bank account issue yesterday. Before you go to your bank and try to get things fixed that way, try this instead. First, if you live in the USA, call Login, Click "Contact Us", Click "Customer Service Center" under "contact us" PayPal page. On the "contact us" web page you should be shown 3 things on the top half of the page: ~your primary home telephone number ~your very own secure web PIN <---- you NEED this while on the phone with the paypal customer service person ~you primary email address If you don't live in the USA then I'm sorry I can't help you, but I'm sure there is another asnwer for you elsewhere. Second, call the number above, and on the phone with the robot talker (personal experience), say agent which SHOULD lead you to a PERSON to talk to, and not another computer robot. Third, the customer service PERSON should ask for your information; name, email, and phone number. Explain (in detail if possible) your paypal issue. My issue was linking my paypal to my bank account. (as seen in the ORIGINAL post title) Forth, with personal experience, the customer service PERSON should be able to help you with the issue(s) you're dealing with in paypal. (Apparently the lady on the phone I talked to (though she had an accent) already knew I was logged into my paypal which I was at the time.) Each issue to unique so it would be nice for each and every one of you to share and expose your tips and help stuff to help others. Especially since the tip(s) might help another person. IF this doesn't help you link your paypal to your bank account then please do the alternative and contact your bank directly. The money you transfer from paypal to your own bank account should take 2-3 days (as it says on the "money transfer" webpage). Though it depends entirely on each person's bank account rules. Hopefully the tips in this can help another person. See ya! ^_^ ~SailorKorra22 ORIGINAL POST: 5/4/2011 I used to have my bank account linked to my paypal. Then I started having bank problems. When someone bought something from me the money never went into my bank account so I thought that if I redid the routing number it would work now. My account now tells me to add a bank account to my paypal since I removed it. When I did that, it says that my bank account is linked to another paypal. How is that possible? I removed my old bank account routing number to redo the same routing number, so it would go in right this time around. I'm now having problems putting my routing number into my paypal. It says that my routing number is already being used by another paypal account but I don't know how someone else can use my routing number except me. If I don't get this done right then I won't be able to sell my merchandise and get paid. I'm awaiting a new payment from a buyer and if I don't get this done I won't get paid. Someone please help me! Why is paypal NOT allowing me to reput my routing number in my paypal since it worked before? I can't recieve payments from customers if I don't have a bank account connected to my paypal! Please help!
