Hi everyone, The other day I tranferred £40 from my Paypal to my account with the Royal Bank... At least, that's what I thought I had done...and then I noticed that there were two bank account numbers and that the one I had transferred to wasn't my bank account, but had been set up as the default account....I ahve no recollection of ever having set up this account! I double checked at my loacal bank to make sure I had no other accounts in my name, as Paypal states that this other account is linked to Ewen Kirk at the Royal Bank.. They told me that although I had set up a business account a few years back, this has been closed for a while and can't receive tranfers, and also has a different account number from the one on the profile, meaning that the only account in my name is my proper bank account...If the money had been sent to my old account, it would also have bounced back to Paypal, but it hasn't, meaning that somehow this account has been added to my Paypal without my knowledge.... What's odd here is that no-one attempted to take any funds from my Paypal, or my bank, and just waited until I tried to transfer money, perhaps knowing that I would expect it to go into my proper account... So, does anybody have any idea who to contact at Paypal in order to see if I can somehow recover this £40 and talk with about this other random bank account, and if it's likely to be successful, or if I'm better just deleting the account from my profile, and chalking it up to one for to be wary of in future.....
