I cannot withdraw

User2603045282 on

South Africa

I’m based in South Africa and started using a paypal awhile ago for payments. NOW when i want to withdraw my money to my bank account, it asks me to link a “U.S bank account “ and specifically asks for a ROUTING NUMBER. I bank with discovery and they do not have routing numbers… Im so disappointed because I have money in my wallet that I cannot WITHDRAW. A WASTE OF TIME!

Bank Account

South Africa

I opened my PayPal in S.A I linked my debit card successfully and it asked me to link my bank account yet the only option is a U.S account and I live in RSA I don’t have a U.S account

Unable to Login

Knebster on

South Africa

Absolutely useless App. Sends a QR code to my phone which I cannot save to photos and then scan. So I select Face Recognition which it simply ignores and resends a QR code. So I cannot login and the App is fundamentally useless and a waste of my time. They need to close my account and delete all my private information from their databases

Bad and Brutal!!!!

victor ivyic on

South Africa

I don’t recommend this. I traveled to another country for marriage and paypal sent me an email saying I cant use PayPal anymore. I will access my money after 180 days. So my question is I can’t travel anymore? I cant visit anymore? Why not tell people first why you are blocking accounts? You blocked my account because I traveled to another country which is just a neighbouring country to my home country. I have a funeral and i cant withdraw my funds. I call your centre and they tell me they cant help or help with appeal and its because i travelled. What the actual f***? I used PayPal for 10 yeara for you to treat me like crap
