hey folks...

perhaps im doing somthing wrong..

anyways the kicker here is that im doing this all through a japanese setup. Im in Tokyo, with no japanese credit card (cancelled my ones from home) but I do have a japanese bank account, and I added it, there is a specific option in pay pal to add a japanese bank account, and I did, and I know i entered the info right (katakana characters) had our translater lady at work do it for me....

BUT, when i go to choose "transfer funds", and i choose bank account, it just puts me in a circle, it wants me to add another bank account... i do not see my japanese bank account details listed anywhere, even though it all went through fine.

How can i 'put cash' into my pay pal account by directly transfering some funds outta my japanese bank account?

I just created the account today.

Hmm..not sure if the same rules apply for japanese bank accs, but for my paypal account, I entered in my US bank account and paypal deposited 2 very small amounts (like pennies) and I had to verify this on my next statement and enter in the correct numbers on the website to prove that my account is real. After that, I became a verified member and have had no probs using paypal/transfering money

I think you first have to wait for your Paypal account to be VERIFIED (with two small deposits should take 3 days assuming you entered in your bank details correctly).

Just in case send an email to damon@paypal.com he is a Paypal employee who is also an AT'er.
