    Hi,

    I have a few doubts:

    1. Should I have my own credit card to verify Paypal A/c or Can I use my brother's A/c. (should the names be same - like that)

    2. If my Paypal A/c is being (stolen), will the credit card linked with it be misused.

    3. What is VCC being sold for $7+ online. Will it help my cause. I am currently transferring amount to my bank A/c - Will this be affected.

    Thanks.

    No...you cannot use a CC belonging to any other individual. It has to be in your own name.

    2. If my Paypal A/c is being (stolen), will the credit card linked with it be misused.
    Yes....CC can be mis-used...but the good news is that the transaction can be reversed too..with the help of your CC company.

    3. What is VCC being sold for $7+ online. Will it help my cause. I am currently transferring amount to my bank A/c - Will this be affected.
    People have been using VCC for verification. No, it will not affect your withdrawal to your bank. If PP does not like your VCC, it would degrade your account status from being verified to back to unverified...hopefully, without any limitation! :eek:

    Regards,

    I prefer you opt for a VCC as it will serve your purpose to withdraw to ur bank account.

    Using VCC in order to verify your paypal account is against their TOS. If they catch with VCC on your account, your account may get limited. So do it at your own risk..

    Have you consider the HSBC debit card (Visa)? At least if your PP was hacked, they can only misuse the amount loaded in the card..

    but if your account is hacked, then you can just call up PayPal and account will be frozen and I think the only funds that can be misused is your PayPal funds.

    The expire date of vcc may be 3 months,6 months or one year.But it is no important at all.Once u add it and your paypal account become verified.When the vcc expire,nothing change for paypal account.So dont care about it.:)

    2. If my Paypal A/c is being (stolen), will the credit card linked with it be misused.
    Yes,the fraudster can make purchase using your CC credit.
