    This is true. When I opened my account, they had to verify it as a business account by interacting with my bank account. They made a transaction of less than $2.00 and I had to then tell the system how much money it was to verify I had access to the account.

    This is because it is a two way system (you can both deposit and withdraw into that bank acccount)

    good luck!

    Paypal tries to verify your bank account by withdrawing a small fee from your creditcard balance which is linked to your bank.Thus this is a full proof way of checking the authenticity of a user.

    It is quite easy to set up European Business ID as well. I used to live in Bulgaria and I could`t verify my Paypal account. I have found registered agent in Ireland which set up a limited company for me, opened a business bank account and now I can use paypal processor. You don`t need to go to US to open bank account.
