How to Verify Paypal??? PLEASE HELP!!!!

Hello, I created a paypal account a few months ago in order to make purchases on Sythe, but It won't let me send any money! Whether it be direct payments, or through PA, I am unable to buy anything on Sythe. Does anyone know how to verify Paypal without a Credit Card/Bank Account? I haven't found a working method on Google, Youtube, or here on Sythe. Can someone please help me solve this issue?

 

Well..
When you link your bank account to your Paypal they send you 2 small payments (Say 1p and 3p) and then you have to check your bank account for any recent payments received.

If you have received these payments you tell Paypal what the payments were and they will then verify your account

 

Pre-paid VISAs used to let you verify your PayPal via that. I'm not sure if this works anymore though; someone had said they changed it so you couldn't.

Always worth a try though if you're desperate? =|

 

Well I don't have a bank account :/

Sure, Ill try it if I can't get another method.

 

Ah I apologise, when I read your post I thought it said "with" not "without".
In that case I don't know

 

Just go through the process or adding and verifying a credit card on the paypal site?

I don't see how it can be difficult or require a special method because there is none?

 

Not everybody has a credit card or bank account, or access to either of those things.

As for verifying your account, the simplest way would be to call a local bank branch and open up an account there. It is completely free, and once you have an account set up you can verify your account and avoid all the hassle. This is usually only a problem if you are really young, or if for criminal/financial reasons you are restricted from having bank accounts. Even in that case, there are many "online" banking branches that you can open accounts with for free, completely over the internet or by phone. ING Direct is one that I used to have a Savings account with, and I'm sure you could verify your PayPal with that?

The only other thing I could think of is make another PayPal account? I just recently I created a Canadian PayPal account and used my real age (I am 21, which is well over the legal age here), and I have a limit of something like $3000-5000 that I can send before I have to verify my account. Within 5 minutes of creating my account, I was sending and receiving money no problem.

I have no idea what the rules/regulations and loopholes are concerning PayPal, but perhaps if you created a Canadian account and feigned your age to be over 19 years old, you would be able to send/receive some money right away? This would only be a short term solution though and shouldn't be used to deal with large amounts of money in case the account gets locked - as what you are doing is faking an identity, which is illegal. I'm not even sure if there is a difference between CA and US PayPal, but I haven't had to worry about verifying my account yet (because like you, I am unable to).

 

Oh I thought he said he had a credit card, that's why.

Last time I checked, a virtual bank account did the trick.
Not sure if that still works / is allowed and if it's good for long term.

 

Only way to "verify" a PayPal account is with a bank account. If you don't got a bank account only other option is to apply for PayPal credit card and if you're approved your account will be verified. Also opening a bank account is not hard and you going to need one eventually, even if you're under 18 you can open a student account.

 

You can verify your paypal account with just a credit card I'm sure.

 

Wow thanks for the help, I will try this method and report back here whether it works or not.

As I said, I do not have a credit card.

 

I know, just telling Busta.

 

Adding a credit/debit card will only raise your spending limit, not verify your account.

 

Well thats all i really need, so i guess ill have to try adding a credit card.

 

go create a savings account at a local bank put the minimum required money in it and there you go you're gaining interest and you can use your paypal account.
