    Most which offers VCC does not even bother to verify who you are, where you leave or anything about you. They just ask for payment and you get a number, expiry date and a CVV2 number and a balance sufficient for Paypal verification. VCC are one-time used tool for the sole purpose of cheating the Paypal verification process.

    Think about it, if those offering you a VCC does not verify your details, what makes it a real tool to verify Paypal ? It is plainly just like a fake ID. It is not legal as it does defies the whole reason why Paypal uses credit card for verification.

    Credit card on the other hand is issued by the bank by verifying who you are and doing all the necessary background checks before issuing you a credit card. This is what Paypal relies on.

    The best way of finding out what your options are to getting your account verified is to check directly with Paypal and do everything above board and do not use any means to deceive Paypal or you will regret it in the future.

    I have a debit card (not credit card), and I have no problem on paypal.
    Any bank can offer debit cards :)

    But my paypal account is limited to send only :D

    I would always prefer to get verified by using a credit card and not by a vcc.See, vcc is not a legal way of getting your self verified with paypal.

    Like I said, VCC is plainly just like a Fake Passport you use to travel with or a Fake Driver's License you use to enter into clubs or to drive. It does not make it right but people still do it. The VCC just does not provide any proof you are who you say you are or anything. It is just fake. It does not make it the right thing to do or even legal. People who use it either have no regards for the law, assume that they will never be caught while know the risk or have something to hide.
