you have to have a checking account to have a routing # checking account is where paypal takes there money from .you cannot do wire transfers from savings acct. ask your bank if you can set up another account for paypal -ebay purchases and they will give you a routing # for that account you may need to open a debit account

call your bank and ask them
Thought you needed a checking account to
use paypal like that
so paypal could send two deposits to your checking account
to verify it
not a savings account

Savings Accounts also have Routing No’s just call your Bank, where you have a Savings account and ask them to give you the Routing No. Yes the routing No is necessary.

Yes, there are routing numbers for a savings account. However, some banks have different routing number for their savings accounts.
In the U.S.
For savings you are only allowed four electronic transaction a month. (Atm at your bank and in person transaction are not suppose to be counted)

Every financial institution has a routing number; it is assigned by the Routing Number Administration Board (governed by the Federal Reserve and the American Bankers Association).
Go to your bank’s website and search for their routing number. I found mine on my credit union’s website in about 3 seconds. They will hopefully have a search feature on their site. The number should be 9 characters in a 4-4-1 configuation (####-####-#).
Good luck.
