As I surfed the forums I found these VCC that people use to verify their paypal account. After going on the paypal website I can't find out how one can use VCC to verify the paypal account. Can anyone explain how to verify your paypal account with a VCC?
You would add the VCC the same way that you would a credit card. As a word of advice, don't use a VCC and use an actual credit or debit card if possible. VCC's aren't actually verifying who you are and may also cause problems in the future.
Ya i would for sure use an actual CC even if there is no room on it or a low limit it does not really matter in terms of verification.
I have problem in verifying CC with Paypal. They disabled my CC, and asking me to "add a new card". whew!
Both procedures are same. Verifying through CC and VCC. You need to enter your card number alongwith 3 digit code whichone you can find back of the CC and in case of VCC you need to ask about these codes to your VCC seller. DON.
its very easy.... just add your VCC or CC to your paypal first... then click on Expand program... then it will ask for confirmation... once done, it will bill you $1.95 from that card so that it can send the Expanded Number (4 digit number) to your bill.... once you successfully expand from the VCC or CC, paypal will take 4 days to send the Expanded Number to your bill... you can get the expanded number from your cc bill next month... but i dont know how they get the expanded number from VCC.... but i think they get the expanded number from online bank that provide the VCC... anyway, if you use VCC then you will get the expanded number within few hours... but if you use Real CC then you will have to wait till you get the CC bill... that is how paypal know who use VCC and who use CC to verify and VCC users get limited quickly or even wose your account may get suspended.... so good luck with your VCC verification....
There's almost no difference between the two for verification other then one being an actual card. The best thing to do is use an actual bank issued card.
But then if you used a VCC and waited until the actual date of when normal CC bills are given to enter the code. Would that make the risk smaller of getting banned from Paypal? Also since there's not much of a difference between a PpCC and a CC. How does the PpCC get the code. Any ideas?
Well, most VCC which used to be offered here and probably offered elsewhere are generated from the bank customers' account and they do not have the authority to sell the VCC anyways. Those VCC generally refers to the bank account holders information and thus does not actually verify who you are. It may work with Paypal for a while but it just makes a mockery of Paypal's verification process. VCC generally do not provide you with any credit card statement since it is not given one which beyonds to you. Thus you will need to go back to the account holder for the codes. This may indeed be deemed as identity fraud so it can be risky. Like the rest said, it is best to use a Credit Card to verify, failing which you may be able to get a VISA or Mastercard International Debit Card for that purpose. Prepaid cards are usually just sold in stores or banks but they do not usually come with any verification of your status. The purpose of verification is to determine that you are who you claim you are. Using Anonymous information pretty much does not do that.
is it possible to get verified without a credit card? i dnt hv a cc nor my parents will allow me to get one. cn i get verified if i add a bank account n send my residential proof. currently my acc hs been limited by paypal n need to verify it.
Check with your local banks. VISA and MasterCard seems to be pushing their debit cards very intensively to banks and some banks are even offering such cards instead of the regular ATM card for their account holders.
