Can I verify my paypal account with a gift card? I have a Visa and American Express gift card. If so, how do I do it? If not, can i buy VCC with my gift card?
The purpose of verification is not just to go through the motions for the sake of doing it. In the English Language, 'Verify' means 'to ascertain the truth or correctness of, as by examination, research, or comparison'. A Gift Card does not come with your name or identity so there is really no way it can be used to verify that you are who you say you are. Paypal require a bank-issued credit card because although banks are quite liberal in offering credit cards now, they would inevitably still check to see your personal particulars are accurate and that you are creditworthy. Paypal uses your bank's verification process to verify your identity. Using a VCC, a Gift Card and all that just isn't right.
You can POSSIBLY use a GIFT CARD! It depends if you can check the balance online, as PayPal requires a EXPUSE number, which can only be found on a statement. It's difficult, but possible.
What are you talking about, I cannot verify my account because I am underage as some of the people here on DP are. Im not doing this to scam people, just so i can buy stuff online. Thanks for the responses everyone, I'll look into every technique you guys posted. thanks again
You get it charged to your account and you get the verification number in the bank statement, so you really do need a credit card.
Did you not read your contractual agreement with Paypal because it specifically say that you need to be 18 and above to sign up with them ? Wouldn't signing up by lying about your age be a wrong thing to do since it will get your account limited.
yeah, you have to tell them the truth, you don't need to sign up if your not 18 above because your a not following them. maybe you need to be 18 so that you can go on.
