Things You’ll Need:
PayPal account – For Starters you will need at least a Website Payments Standard account. Sign up for an account now.
Checking account – You will need to have your checking account info, online access to your account wouldn’t hurt.
Add Your Account From the Account Overview Page
Step 1 – Log in to your PayPal account. Look for the “Add Bank Account” link on the “Account Overview” page and click on it. This link is only available if you don’t already have a bank account associated with your account. You may add multiple bank accounts to your PayPal account, but you must choose one as a primary account.
Step 2 – Fill out all the required information on the form. You will need to have your bank account information handy, including the account and routing numbers, as well as the correct and full name of your bank.
Step 3 – Confirm your bank account by looking for the two small deposits PayPal will make to your account (these deposits will be under a dollar). If you don’t have online bank-account access, call your bank and ask for the information. Deposits are made approximately 3 days after adding your account to PayPal.
Step 4 – Return to the “Account Overview” page of your PayPal account and look for the “Confirm Bank Account” link.
Step 5 – Enter the amounts of the deposits. You can now use the bank account to add and withdraw funds from your PayPal account.
