Reached Your (PayPal) Limit? We've been hearing quite a bit lately about buyers who go to check their PayPal accounts or attempt to withdraw funds from them, only to find that they don't have access to the entire amount. What has probably happened is that you've reached the spending limit with the service and now have to decide if you want to attach a credit card or bank account to your PayPal account. PayPal gives you a $250 spending limit with their service (some users are grandfathered into a $500 limit). That means if you exceed that threshold in payments over a 6-month period, you will have to upgrade your PayPal account if you wish to withdraw money or pay someone using PayPal. You can upgrade by attaching a credit card to your PayPal account. You cannot use more than one PayPal account per credit card. Or you can verify your account by attaching a Bank account to your PayPal account. This allows you to do electronic transfers and also gives you a higher level of security. More security details are available at http://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/gen/protections-buyer-outside If you find that you're unable to access all of your PayPal funds and you don't want to use your bank account or credit card, you can contact PayPal customer service by emailing them at checkwithdrawal@paypal.com or by calling their 24-hour customer service number at 888-221-1161. They will send you a street address confirmation via regular mail. This will contain a 20-digit code, which you must enter into the appropriate box on the PayPal site. Using this method, it is likely that PayPal will raise your limit without giving them credit card or bank account information. My account limit was raised from $500 to $1,000 using this method. Can anyone say is this correct or not, bcoz i cant get a CC to verify my paypal account as i am a student and cant get an addon card also Anyone please suggest me what to do as i dont want to take Risk with my paypal acc
Unverified Paypal account would always face the risk of the possibility of being locked. I believe that Paypal never intended for anyone to remain as unverified for long but allow the period so that you can get your account verified. I am not sure about the specifics of the limits as it varies from country to country. To know yours, log into your paypal account and click 'View Limit'
You can't get a Credit Card but you can still get a student current account with a Debit Card, can't you? Using a debit card will be just as fine.
Which country are you from ? I believe if you are from the US, you can use your bank account to get you verified. Alternatively, request for the Paypal Debit Card, they did tell me that is another way of getting your account verified.
I dont think debit cards work , my friend from india tried and he could not get verified using debit card
Depends on the country you live in. I have verified both personal and business accounts using debit cards VISA and Mastercard, however VISA Electron will probably not work. In addition, Paypal is giving him the option to verify his street address to get a check and raise that limit then, why not verify it?
Unverified Paypal account should not be able to send $0. every one should get verified im sick of dealing iwth people who have un-varified scam accounts
VCC are either a hit or miss, not all cards work all the time. What works today may not work tomorrow once paypal figure it out. I believe the street address verification does not work in all the countries. So unless we know where he is from, it is difficult to determine what works. I tried two US issued debit cards, ePassporte and Payoneer, and both does not work with Paypal. An international bank issued Mastercard may work. It has to be issued in your country.
Yes, it might be a matter of what country your account is based in, don't know. I do have debit cards linked to my UK based account, Visa Electron also there.
