# Can’t Confirm My Bank/Credit Card with PayPal: What to Do When Help Isn’t Coming

Hey everyone, today I’ve run into a bit of a roadblock with PayPal and wanted to share my experience, along with any potential solutions I’ve uncovered. If you’re also facing this issue, I hope you find this helpful.

## The Problem: Can’t Confirm My Bank or Credit Card with PayPal

### The Snag:
I was following PayPal’s instructions to confirm my bank account or credit card for secure transactions. The process required transferring two small amounts from my PayPal account to my bank, but these transactions did not show up in my bank account statements as expected. Trying to get in touch with PayPal support to resolve this has been a struggle; the help I’ve received has been less than I hoped for.

### The Frustration:
Errors in online transactions can happen, and I understand PayPal’s commitment to securing transactions. However, the challenges I’ve encountered in this confirmation process have been more than frustrating, especially with the lack of meaningful support from PayPal’s helpdesk. I’ve reached out by email and through live chat, but so far, all I’ve received are general responses like “try following the steps again” or “it can take a few business days.”

### Steps I’ve Already Tried:
1. **Followed the Instructions Faithfully:** I transferred the required amounts and waited the necessary time period, but no deposits surfaced in my bank statements.
2. **Different Devices and Browsers:** At times, simply using a different browser or device can resolve technical glitches, but it didn’t help in this scenario.
3. **Tapped into PayPal Support:** I’ve sent in support tickets and made use of live chat, hoping for some useful advice, but instead I’ve found myself faced with canned responses from their support team.

### Next Steps to Try:
1. **Double-Check Your Email:**
– PayPal could have sent you confirmation emails. Take a moment to check your spam and junk folders in case they ended up there.

2. **Be Patient and Wait:**
– Bank transactions can take a few business days, so give your account a bit more time to catch up with the deposits.

3. **Bank Verification:**
– Contacting my bank might shed some light on whether their system is delaying or blocking the deposit notifications.

4. **Keep a Log:**
– Keep a detailed record of your attempts and the answers provided by PayPal’s support. This documentation could be invaluable if further action is needed.

5. **Talk to Your Bank:**
– Getting in touch directly with your bank can be the key to understanding if there is a delay or an issue on their end that’s blocking the transaction visibility.

### In Conclusion:
When customer service isn’t as cooperative as one would hope, it can significantly amplify the frustration of troubleshooting an issue. But I’m staying positive and exploring all avenues. I’ll keep you updated with any progress or solutions I discover and encourage you to share your insights too.

So, stay connected for any updates or resolutions, and don’t hesitate to share your experiences and tips in the comments section below.
