 Alright, i have searchbar'd just to get thought out. Anyways i have a few questions regarding verifying my paypal account. I have a savings account and I need to know what the following things are without having to call my bank: institution number (i think i have that already), bank transit number, and account number. The problem is they show their examples of these numbers on a check, and i do not have any checks. Is there any way to find this information out online or even by looking at my debit card. I am pretty sure i have my account number and i may have the institution number i am not sure. so in reality i need bank transit and institution. thanks for the help.

Do you have a savings or checking account? Savings accounts aren't linked to your card, and you need your parents, or be 18 to withdraw money from it. Its a checking account that is what you sound like you have, and need.
You should just be able to call the bank, and they ask your name, and social security #, and they can see all of your account info, and can help you from there.

Ya for me, my savings account doesn't let me withdraw with my debit card, and thats where most of money is too. The banker also said that i would be able to do it, and i call the people at the bank, and they are then telling me it wouldn't work.

I'm not worried about withdrawing money from my bank account really. Like if i have to i would just like to be able to sell shit, get the money in my paypal and then use that money to buy other stuff.

you need to have a checking account to verifiy you account with paypal. it is becuase when you withdraw form it, it is the equivalent of writing a check. and it helps verify that you are 18.
