    I am thinking of buying a VCC to verify my paypal a/c. I know how much risky this is,but as you know Paypal is must for any types of online work :(

    Just trying to figure out the VCC users who are using VCC for many days without facing any problems.
    Can you plz share with us? also how many days you are using?

    Thank you :)

    You will not face any problem with VCC for verifying paypal accounts. Your VCC might be expired after some days but your paypal account will still be verified.

    Its not recommended using vcc to verified your paypal coz it will raise many problem in the future such as limitation of sending fund etc.
    You can always use debit card to verified it such as entropay card

    VCC is always a problem and they expire in 3-4 months,so u need to keep adding new VCCs and paypal may limit your account for that.

    .
    That can be dangerous for you. Be accurate. Paypal might punish you for that.

    I am using vcc for more than 3 years and having no problem at all. Thing is you should be able to send them documents if they need verification. So I wont suggest you to use vcc if you are using fake details

    I have the same questions. Please share with us

    I am also interested to verify paypal account using HDFC VCC, a bit worried whether paypal may suspend account at any time if I do so. Although as per above posts, someone has been using for 3 years.... that's great and many DP members too

    it seems to me paypal wants valid CC so that they can charge-back if needed... probably... not sure... since VCC would not work.

    Well, if your country is not supported then do not use Paypal at all. By using it would mean that you are breaching your contractual agreement with paypal by lying and that would certainly make you dishonest. It sure is not a good way to start a relationship.

    If Paypal get wind that you and your fellow countrymen are doing dishonest things like this, it would certainly give them more reason to place your country in the ban list.

    Paypal is not stupid and they would certainly get to you sooner or later. Once in a while, paypal would require you to submit utility bills and credit card statement to ascertain your status and you will get into trouble.

    You are not at our place, Thatz why you can say manything whatever you want.We are not gonna do crime with Paypal.We need this because we have that ability to use this. Many People in Bangladesh Has a very good knowledge about online stuffs and they are ready to do various activities very cheaply with great quality.
    But they are deprived of online transaction if they provide service.
    For that reason we need this alternate BAD way.
    Some people are using this, earning some money, may be can use that money, and ultimately lost their a/c. This is true. but they are happy with what they earn.But many people are using this for more than a years.

    I know there are many alternative like Moneybooker, Alertpay and so on, but Can you please tell me how many company or individuals are using this?
    If we need to buy something from any good company. we need paypal.
    If we need to provie some service,more than 60% people willing to give paypal.


    That is all our problem and we the unlucky people are using VCC only for that.
    Is this such a dishonesty Mate?If you don't have paypal,what you will do for online transaction?

    Thank you

    I hardly use Paypal myself. I mainly just use my credit card to make online purchases and use Plimus.com to receive payment.

    I am not saying that you are at a disadvantage by not using Paypal because people at DP use them a lot. However what I am saying is that Bangladesh is not a paypal supported country and you should respect that and not sign up with them. I mean if they allow you to use some dirty trick to get an account then why did they bother to prohibit your country in the first place. By not allowing you to sign up officially does not give you the right to use some other means to sign up. Do get that to your head.

    If you ignore and lied in your paypal application by using a fake address or lying that you belong to a paypal supported country then that would make you dishonest. That pretty much make you someone who disregards rules and laws.

    In the end, Paypal has the right to decide who they want to deal with and you have to respect that. Say if you are a web host and if you specially mentioned that no warez or torrent are allowed and if you find your customer doing just that, do you just let them continue doing what they do or do you stop them because they breach your AUP ? It is the same with Paypal.
