Lifting PayPal limits? A Virtual Credit Card?

    Hi

    My PayPal is currently limited. However, I HAVE verified my bank. They want me to register a credit card, which just do not want to do. Is there a way to get around this? Can I use a VCC to do this? Are they safe and legal?

    Exactly, this is also one of the reason why VCC sales is no longer allowed in DP. Before VCC was disallowed, there are so many that had bought VCC and had their Pay Pal limited. You can see lots of threads complaining about these.

    After the VCC sales was disallowed, we hardly see any Pay Pal limited (due to VCC) complaint threads or posts.

    Adding a VCC will just complicate the matter. You may not be able to get verification from paypal ever.

    VCC defeats the whole purpose of verification. Using it simply is taking someone's else identity to claim he is you. The banks who offers the VCC would prohibit the account holder to distributing it to someone else in the first place. There are some people who just exploit any means to make a few dollars with total disregards to rules and their own conscience.

    VCC is provided by a lot of banks and they are safe and legal and are just for one time transactions and discarded for the safety of their card holders and not use to falsify one's identity during verification purposes.

    It will mostly work, but paypal is against it and it may get you limited.
