I have the same issue- however here is why my problem still stands.... So I had signed on one day about 6 months ago to make a payment and my bank accountt hat had been linked to Paypal for at least 6 years was totally missing from Paypal.   I did not delete it. I attempted to add it back and it kept saying that there was an error to try again later.I deleted my cookies, and whent hat did not work I tried another browser and that did not fix anything.   After about 30 mintes of searching out the others online who had this issue and tryng to find solutions, I called Paypal customer service (ie I went to the escalation link and got that 1 hour only code)   When I called, the personin customer service told me that my bank was "no good" not my account, not a funding issue, it was actually my bank. I use a very small bank- which has about 6 branches in PA only. He asked if I have another bank account at another bank or if I have a debit or credit card i can use. I do not have a debit card and do most of my daily transaction in cash as this is what works for me. I have also been in the process of payng off all my credit card debt - so the last thing i wanted to do was to pay that way. When I relayed this to the representative, he had no answers. When I aked why the bank was "no good" he said he didn't knw but that the account was linked to another paypal account  I know this as I do have 2 paypal accounts, Paypal Smart Connect (regular old fashioned paypal) and Paypal Credit - formerly Bill me Later.  I paid these like all my other bills - linking my checking account to the online sites to pay eevry month.  also the other Paypal account had ALSO deleted my bank account. So, no other Paypal account is associated with my account at this time. Why all of a sudden is this an issue for Paypal?   I just re-awaened my annoyance today as I saw that Synchrony is now handling Paypal billing, and I figured that maybe the issue would have been fixed (by the way I currently  have 2 credit cards with Synchrony and have never had an issue with this) But no, no solutuons other thanlterally going out and opening a new bank account at a different bank JUST for Paypal.   I am so upset with Paypal I am willing to give up the "priviledge" of using them for online shopping altogether.   ...
