    VERIFICATION CARDS

    PayPal Verification Card
    Preloaded Balance $2
    Total Amount To Pay $7.5

    eBay Verificatoin Card
    Preloaded Balance $5
    Total Amount To Pay $8

    Adwords Verification Card
    Preloaded Balance $2
    Total Amount To Pay $6

    Why do we need to pay $7.5 to get $2 card?is it purely business or do the sellers need to pay any tax...etc??

    It´s all about business. I think there is a little fee too but the main reason is biz of course.

    There are a few small fees for the seller as well + it's a service and people always ad a markup to their service to make money :)

    7.5$ seems expensive to you, wish you would've been to DP few months ago when verification cards were going for $40-$50 :rolleyes:

    Yeah I agree. There was a time when we used to buy PP Verification card for $40 but now the time has changed. Its business off course. But there are little fee + the service fee. This is not expensive at all. Go on other forums where people are still buying these cards for $20.
