our bank account details are probably wrong. I have a BNZ account linked to my Paypal account for years now. Very quick to transfer funds - usually in my account in three days.

You can't add funds to a Paypal account from a credit card or a NZ bank account.

You most assuredly can add funds from a credit card. But not from a NZ bank account.

You can also add from a Prezzy Card, but you can't use it to verify your account.

Kyanar: You most assuredly can add funds from a credit card.

How? If I click "add funds", I just get "Add Funds is Not Available"

I verified my account using a Prezzy card...

I understood you cant add funds, and there is no need to do it!? You can link a credit card to a paypal account and then that will get charged. When I log into my paypal and try to add it says

Add Funds is Not Available

PayPal does not currently offer the ability to add funds from your bank account.

When you make a payment, PayPal charges the buyer's credit card and instantly credits the seller's PayPal account.

You cant add funds from a NZ credit card, just pay for things when the sellers accept credit card funded purchases.

Pain in the ... since some people outside of ebay will take paypal but not card funded payments since they have to pay more to accept them.

How old are you OP? If you cant get a credit card consider a debit card, then its your money but you can link it to your paypal account!
