checking or savings?

I recently linked a bank account to PayPal but accidentally clicked it as 'savings' instead of 'checking'! I realise then that I can't change that part! Also, I tried adding a new bank account and only change the savings part and it comes out as 'this bank account is already registered'

Does it make any difference whether it is a savings or checking account? B/c I just linked it and am waiting for the deposit in 2-3 business days to confirm my bank account. I'm afraid anything would disrupt that just b/c of that small mistake. Or does it all just depends on the correct bank name, routing and account number?

HELP!

Dear Person,

 

          No it does not matter. Paypal actually uses the routing and account number to make a payment. It doesnt matter if you put checking or savings on the application as long as the #'s are correct.  You should receive your payment as scheduled.
