I hadn't used my paypal account i don't know how long and when i tried to log into it for the first time in like 8 or 9 months it said my account was deleted So i then decided to create a new account but when i imputed my credit card it made me do this validation thing were i had to wait for a code to appear on my CC billing statement which took 5 days so by the time that happened the thing i wanted to buy was sold out.
actually the code appears on your online credit card statement instantly, at least that how it worked for me. But I don't understand why did the delete your account, I could understand if they delete account that hasn't been used for 10 years because that has probably been abandoned, but only after 9 months? A lot of people use PayPal very occasionally, so are they suppose to create new PayPal account every time they want to pay?
Well you can just ask your bank by call to get the code and I dont know , due to how many days of inactiveness paypal delete the account.
