I have seen this in other post, Olivia seemed to say this in that post.
So ... if you've made PayPal account in accordance with your country, those routing numbers means local bank in your country is not supported by PayPal. So ... only credit card that can be used.
Sorry.

Hi everyone,
koesut is correct that the bank will need to have both a routing number and account number from a U.S. bank to work on a U.S. PayPal account. This information can usually be found at the bottom of the check:
I hope this helps. 🙂

I've come across the same problem; however I have both an account & routing number. The problem (I think) is that it's through my Wal-Mart MoneyCard. I followed the steps to link my "bank account" to my PayPal; I received the small deposits, & then entered the amounts as requested once I logged back in to PayPal. They were accepted, & everything looked in order . . . I was verified. Then I tried to complete a spending transaction, & I got a message saying that it was denied. I was able to use my MoneyCard to finish the transaction, but that was only because I still hadn't hit my $5000 spending limit quite yet. Now that I have, I'm stuck. My Wal-Mart MoneyCard should be able to be linked to, right? It's backed by GE Money Bank. I don't know any other account or routing numbers to use. I've been using PayPal for some time now, but know I'm prohibited simply because I choose not to have a checking account. I only use my Wal-Mart MoneyCard for ALL of my spending. Is there any other way to get verified for those of use that don't have a checking account? Help!

I'm guessing that you actually need some money in your Paypal account....if your paypal balance is $0.00, then paypal will go to the backup source, i.e. your MoneyCard...

I use a Chase account which only has 6 digits in its routing number. The form refuses to let me continue until I have put in a 9 digit number. I have tried filling in zeroes for the extra numbers but that has not worked. Is there a way to transfer money to my account without having to use the automated setup process which requires a 9 digit number?

You can go to google type in "Chase routing number" you will find listing for all regions.
Routing numbers are not secret and easy to find for any bank. Hope this helps
