Okay I am from India, and I will tell what what I had done to verify my account. I was asked to insert the Credit Card number, type of credit card, etc and then Paypal deducted 1.XX$ (Dont remember exactly) from my Credit Card an provided me a 3-4 Digit Code (This code appears in the Credit Card Monthly Statement). All you have to do is enter that code in the Expanded Enrollment Procedure and there you have it.. your account is VERIFIED. So please mention your country so that other DP members can assist you accordingly. Regards, Kulwinder.
^ from my understanding its like a virtual credit card. People sell them on here, and you pay them like $15 and you can get your account verified, but I don't think that works for the U.S..Search it.
Candj, it would be better if you would just mention you Country name BTW, VCCs are used to verify paypal account, but I would recommended a CC over a VCC. Regards, Kulwinder.
A VCC is like a Fake ID or Passport, it basically just give you any identity you want since it is not linked to a name, address or country and it is unverified. It does not tell them who you are. One day during a routine Paypal Audit, they may ask you to submit your credit card statement for verification and you be trapped because VCC are mostly 1 use platform and does not have paper credit card statements. You might want to mention which country you are because verification process will vary from country to country. In the US, if I am not wrong, you need to do a bank account verification, you might also need to submit certain documentations to proof you are in the US. In Australia, you do the credit card verification and they will call you to confirm your application. In some countries, you just need to add a credit card and sometimes a bank account.
Iam in India but i used my debit card to verify my account but was not successful.. so i had to fax them the documentations required for verification..
Log in to your PayPal account > You will see your status as "Country - Unverified" Click on it. Now, it will redirect you to a page with link to be verified. Click on it again. Now, you can do the rest easily
now a days it is easy to get a credit card and i get my credit card from SBI without any problem. so why dont you try to get a credit card rather then getting your account verified by a vcc. vcc is not the good idea.
why this is not the good idea? Because of as said eddy2099, VCC isn't linked to name, country, etc? I think, epassporte virtual visa linked to your name and country. Use Epassporte.
Actually, I do have an ePassporte Debit Card myself and the Virtual Visa. The only issue is that to get an ePassporte account, you need to fund and verify it with a credit card. If you have an ePassporte Card, might as well just use your real credit card. I did link my ePassporte virtual card as my secondary credit card in Paypal but however 8 out of 10 times I tried to pay using my paypal account using my ePassporte card, it failed even though I have more than sufficient funds in my account.
