If they do call, what do they ask? Can I receive money with an unverified account? I am in the Philippines. I want to verify by adding a bank account (not credit card). Thanks
For US bank accounts: Once you've successfully submitted your bank account information, PayPal will deposit two small payments into your bank account. Once these deposits have posted, you can confirm your account by entering in the deposit amounts through the "Confirm Your Bank Account" link in PayPal. You can receive money with an unverified account. I'm not sure about the specifics in the Philippines. I would contact them to find out.
Paypal will not call for the verification. Not all the country allow bank account verification, Philippians can only verify by using either credit card or debit card if not mistaken. By the way, you can still receive money although your account is unverified
sometimes paypal agent can call for verification of a particular transaction if they suspect something suspicious . it is happen to me twice since 2006 for my account .
I am using paypal for more than 7 years but I have not got any call from pp till now I dont think they will call for veryfication unless they are going to be so strict abotu accounts
This is not verification but confirmation. It may happen when there is some abnormal transaction or involve huge amount, it is just same as credit card, they just call to ask whether the payment is made by you
It does not have to be huge amounts. I got hit with so called "random" verification's in the same week. Since I did not have a land line phone for them to verify, they send me a letter containing a pin so they could verify my address. my transactions are fairly small or normal, and i seem to be going through some type of verify process at least couple times a year, and I have been using paypal for years...
Depends on the transcaction most likely if its more than $500 or if it from a different ip than your own. Make sure your account has your bank account attachted to avoid this less often
They don't call you at all for anything else NO you cannot receive money without any verified accounts I am also in the Philippines and what you can do is buy a virtual credit card online for $1-$10 and use it to verify or Get to Unionbank and apply for eon card (prepaid debit card) P350 cost or Go to BPI and apply for prepaid credit card for paypal P350 as wel Then you can add the bank account after verifying. Even if you add a bank account if you don't use any credit or prepaid card it will still go unverified which will only allow you to receive money and that's it. After that prepare a Government Issued Id or school Id with a Billing on your name, If you are a student you can go with the COR or if you are an employee you can go with a payslip + ID ofcourse. Scan it and it will be asked for verification + the Credit/prepaid card. Hope that helps you out! Thanks!
