Help with PayPal.

If I change my PayPal account from the United States account it is currently in to a Canadian PayPal account, will it take away all the limits on the account? I currently have $20 USD on the account and I don't want to lose that. Don't tell me to verify it, because that is just a really big pain, but if I have to create a new Canadian account, I'm fine with that to.

 

I already knew that, but I wanted to change my current PayPal account to a Canadian account and not find any problems with being unverified with sending limits. Is that possible or do I have to create a new account?

 

You have to create a new account.

 

Oh ok thanks.

 

You have to realize that it is, in theory, fraud (that is, if you are making a PayPal account with a country outside of your real one). Be careful and close your other PayPal before opening a new one or you will be limited (meaning no sending or receiving money until you submit the information they ask).

 

Well, if I purchase a greendot moneypak, what is my sending limit? Because I don't want to link by bank account.

 

$2,000.

 

So as long as I fill out the information on the moneypak exactly how it is on my PayPal currently, it should work?

 

I assume so.

 

I just read the Green Dot site and you have to be 18 or older. Do I have to enter a social security number or anything when I register the card? I said I was 18 when I signed up for PayPal, but thats about it.

 

Sorry to bump a question, but what I'm asking is that do I have to enter a social security number when I sign up for a Green Dot?

 

Just buy a prepaid visa gift card from your local Walgreens.

 

Yeah ok, thanks for the info.

 

no you dont enter ss

 

But do you think they would catch me if I put my real name and such but just say I'm 18 like I did with PayPal?

 

no. just put same info as paypal

 

for greendot credit cards, the government automated system will call you requesting tons of information including ssn, its just as a pain as the other verifying options. Your best chance is to buy a visa gift card and get it verified that way.

Hope this helps

 

Ok lol, I'm just going to use this I guess.

 

wtf? I have used many greendot prepaid visa cards, never a phone call or any mail.
