Do You Have a Verified PayPal Account?

I am aware that most of us here have our PayPal account. Most site owners use this payment processor because it is widely accepted and easy to use.

When I started working online, the first thing that I worked on was having a verified PayPal account. I opened a debit card (Mastercard) and used that to verify my PayPal account. After two years, my debit card was expired. I received a notification from PayPal about it.

I asked my fellow online workers what they did when the card expires and they told me to get another card because my PayPal account will be reverted back to Unverified Status. I followed their advice and get another debit card thinking that my PayPal status will be reverted back to Unverified when I failed to add a new card.

However, just several months ago, a member from a forum site where I am a member told me that my account will not be reverted back to Unverified even if I don’t get a new card. The only thing I couldn’t do was to use the card for my purchase via PayPal.

  1. I was a minor when I got my first PayPal account. It was on behalf of my mother, though she didn’t know. I had to verify by sneaking and reading her paper bank statements. ?
    Then I told her, years later, when I got my own PP account. ?
    In the meanwhile, she closed her bank account but her PayPal’s was still verified.

    • This is the information I needed. Imagine because of my fear that my PayPal will revert back to being unverified, I need to open another Mastercard. Now that explains why the amount they supposed to take from the card is being returned to the card’s balance. Thank you for sharing your experience.

  2. I have been using Paypal for a while now. I use it for eBay sells, along with Virily. It is so convenient when sending money to anyone. And in the past, I have sent money to my nephew with ease.

    • Thank you Carol, for the comment. How long have you been using PayPal? What actions did you do when the card you used during verification expired?

    • Thank you Stbrians for dropping by. But we know that our card will expire after several years. What experience do you have after your card expires? Did you renew your card or got a new one?

      • I once added a new card but when I realised I could get money through mobile banking I stopped adding a new card.

        Now I may want to pay money to Facebook, Amazon and other organisations nut I cannot. Told to add card.

  3. Some of the answers can’t be answer with a yes or a no – I hope you find the information you are asking for.

    I used a bank account not a card. Have you resolved all your issues?

    • I’m sorry for that. Yes, I also use a bank account intended for transferring of the fund. For verification purposes they are requiring Visa or Mastercard. Thank you for sharing your thought.
