1261439 2012-02-26 00:07:00 Hi, this is my first post here, Need support from people actually in NZ..

I tried to withdraw $177 NZD to my bank account from Paypal, I recieved this email a few days later..



Hello ----

On Feb 23, 2012, Westpac reported a problem with your bank account ending in 0-25.

Until the issue is resolved, you cannot use this bank account with PayPal to send or
receive payments, or to withdraw money. Please contact Westpac to resolve this
problem.

Thanks,

PayPal

What should I do? Has anyone had this happen? If I contact Westpac, What should I say, do you think they would actually be able to help me?

The bank account number I used is correct.

Really appreciate the response.

1261440 2012-02-26 00:44:00 Well I would contact Westpac seeing as they are your bank.

They will probably know more about it than anyone on here.

1261441 2012-02-26 00:56:00 Agreed.

I get these spam mails from time to time and I do not have a paypal a/c or a Westpac a/c so therefore I delete such emails.

1261442 2012-02-26 01:09:00 I don't think his is spam in this case though, since he actually did try to do a withdrawal a couple of days earlier Agent_24 (57)
1261443 2012-02-26 03:57:00 I use Paypal all the time and when I need to withdraw funds it just takes a few days, I think it might be more the fact of what type of account your trying to transfer into, you will need to talk to your bank gary67 (56)
1261444 2012-02-26 04:57:00 Also, double-check the account number. If the account number is wrong, Westpac will bounce the transfer back to PayPal, and can result in the message you're referring to.

The Westpac account you're transferring to must be a NZD account that can accept direct credit transfers (e.g. not a foreign currency account, term deposit etc).

1261445 2012-02-26 09:55:00 I am not too sure I would be too helpful being a first post and trying to get money out of a NZ account from overseas and it is obvious to contact the bank first to find out what the problem is. mikebartnz (21)
1261446 2012-02-26 10:05:00 ...trying to get money out of a NZ account from overseas...They're actually trying to do the opposite - the OP wants to take money out of their PayPal account, and transfer it *to* their Westpac account. Erayd (23)
1261447 2012-02-26 10:29:00 They're actually trying to do the opposite - the OP wants to take money out of their PayPal account, and transfer it *to* their Westpac account.
In my opinion
I tried to withdraw $177 NZD to my bank account from Paypal, is not clearly worded but I am not familiar with Paypal. I would have said "I tried to transfer $177 from Paypal to my bank account.

1261448 2012-02-26 23:56:00 You'll need to double check, I may be wrong but.....

when someone wanted to pay me via paypal, there was going to be an issue with Paypal NOT allowing transfers to a NZ bank/visa a/c.
so perhaps Paypal just wont transfer to a NZ bank or Credit card ??
