Hi All, I have opened a PayPal account and am about to transfer money through it to my bank account. Let me explain this first ... My Name is say : Lalu Prased Yadav Since at time of registering for PayPal I was asked for first and last name so I entered Lalu as first name and Yadav as last name. PayPal now shows my name as Lalu Yadav As u all must obviously know that I cannot change my name on PayPal now... (or can I??) Now since all my bank accounts exists with the name : Lalu Prased Yadav ... so my name in the bank account and the PayPal account do not match exactly. What are the chances that my withdrawl request will be processed successfully. Anybody out there with similar dilemma in present or past ?? Please help me with this .. as I am stuck on this question...and am not finding it safe to get my money into PayPal in the first place.... so it's all still stuck with clients/freelancing sites. Thanks.
This name change is simple with paypal just contact them via the contact us form by logging into the account then raise a ticket to them, they will ask documents for the name change, provide the bank statement scan copy it will be updated
Are you withdrawing via cheque or direct to your bank? If cheque , then you may face problem. If withdrawing to bank directly then, no need to worry, since, it needs your bank account info too.
My PayPal account is under my first and last name. My bank has my middle name. I have redrawn many times without any problems.
Thanks dev, I am withdrawing through direct bank transfer. (I am in India .. if you must know) and am a bit reluctant about sending all this bank account info by post to PayPal (I suppose it will have to be mailed overseas .. whereever the PayPal HQs are ??) ....Pls advise . 1. As you say If withdrawing to bank directly then, no need to worry, since, it needs your bank account info too. .... then is there not a possibilty that the request for withdrawl be rejected and i be charged mony (250 Rs. ) I guess ..... 2. Or since this is the first time that I will withdraw they will automatically verfiy my bank acct info and will credit some small amount in my bank. If that does not go through then ??
Hi Pro Seo, May I know what country you belong to . I belong to India... although this should not make much of a difference as far as PayPal is concerned in this case.
