I have a unverified australian paypal. I want to buy something but when I try to pay it askes me to add a credit card or debit card. If I add a vcc will that allow me to pay and confirm my address? Can I choose which fund to take from? cause I don't want it to take money from the vcc. Since vcc expires in 24-48 hours will my address still be confirmed?
From what I remember, for Australian, after you add your credit card, they will call you to complete the confirmation. A VCC usually is sold to anyone without checking and thus it is no way to link the VCC to an address and in essence does not do anything apart from fooling Paypal system. It is essentially like a fake ID. Since you are in Australia, you can just pop into any bank and get a credit card legally there. At least you do not need to look over your shoulder each time you use your paypal account.
