Google told me it is not working properly this last week. They have gone ahead and verified my account. I would contact customer service
I got a payment of 0,3 euro on my bank account the first time to verify that it was really me after that a postcard with a pin-code on it.
I got my pin about two weeks ago and should receive my first payment next month. Mine and probably everyone else's goal after receiving a check is to up the frequency of payment. I have learned a lot on this forum so I am on my way to achieving my next goal.
