did you solve the problem yet? I am in the same boat as you. Paypal sent 2 small deposits to my Royal bank's USD account on sept 3rd, but I have got it yet.

Anybody has successfully transfered USD from Paypal to Royal Bank's USD account yet?

Hey, I'm a lawyer in Toronto and I'm having the same BS with Paypal....I smell a class action lawsuit. Would you be interested in being a representative plaintiff? Get back to me at ylee@leelaw.com if you want to discuss.
Thanks.

My question is similar so I thought I'd use this thread.

Does anyone know if I can transfer funds from a USA bank account (on US soil)to a US fund bank account on Canadian soil.

If so, how much is the fee?

Let's use $1000.00 for example. If this is possible, how much would it cost to transfer $1000.00 from my US bank account where I live to my USA Bank account in Canada?

Also, does anyone know how long it takes for the funds to transfer. (This is not an issue, I'm just curious).

Hello, there's a problem confusing everyone here.

Any user from any country can add US bank account to their paypal account but the bank account must be denominated in US.

If you are in UK for instance, you cannot add a US bank account from Barclay to your UK Paypal account.

In short, your US account must with a US Bank.

Finally a solution for all those canadians who want to withdraw US$ from their paypal account.

Very Useful link.
