Perhaps most of you here haven't verifying your paypal account yet. The classic reason is not own a credit card for that purpose. Applying for a credit card to your local bank is the simplest solution but you need to meet some requirements for it. I want to share something based on my own experience about how to get a card online and you can use it for verifying your paypal account. I'm talking about a physical real card, not a virtual card. If you are interesting, just pm me. Happy mylotting.

can i use my smart money? its actually from master card and its not a credit card but a debit card. i think using a debit card is more useful than using a credit card. what u think?

you can't directly use smartmoney card.i got these info from someone in the net. I hope you find this tip useful to those Filipinos who are taking out cash from Paypal to any Philippine bank account. I’ve been actually saving a lot from doing Paypal to Smart Money transfer. The only amount I have to pay is at least P2.50.
In case you are not aware of Smart Money, it is the blue ATM card that Smart Buddy subscribers can avail. Getting cash this way is secure: even if I get to lose either the cellphone or Smart Money card gets lost, a PIN is required first before those funds are accessed. Separate PIN numbers are issued for the cellphone and the Smart Money card. You can read more about Smart Money card here.
Let me explain how I am able to save a lot this way. Let’s say I have a P10,000 amount to be withdrawn from Paypal. I choose “withdraw to bank account” option and decided to get that amount into my Unionbank EON bank account. As I have illustrated in a previous post, there’s no charge when “withdraw to bank account” option is selected. I need to wait for about three business days before the entire amount gets into my Unionbank EON account without any deduction: meaning, I get the entire P10,000 entered into my Unionbank EON bank account.
This is where I use my mobile phone to take out Unionbank EON bank earnings to Smart Money. That transfer will only cost me P2.50 which is actually taken out from the airtime (i.e. P2.50 is charged from the cellphone load, not from the P10,000 amount). Then I simply get to any BDO ATMs to get the funds out: unless the ATM sets a lower withdrawal limit per transaction, I would get a full P10,000 amount without any charge (Smart Money withdrawals are free at any BDO ATM).
If I had withdrawn funds from Paypal at less than P7,000 then I would have spent a total of only P52.50.
I don’t think this one is possible with Globe G-cash, but I think it would be better for Globe to make their G-cash services accessible through an ATM card.
Please share!

i know an easy credit card company that anyone can get a credit card from. it capital one. i got a credit card about a year ago from them when i told them i had no income i had no job and no way to pay the bill but they still oddly enough gave me one with a $300 limit and no annual fee so if you never charge anything on it then you never have to pay anything. its also a great way to build real credit just use it for a few small things and pay it off in a couple payments and it will help your credit alot as long as you dont pay it off in one payment or make late payments.

i verified my paypal account by linking my debit account visa from our local bank. because is safer for me to use a debit account card . my debit card charged with a more than 1 $ but it was returned to my paypal balance.

I have a real live card and have had one for five years. I also have a paypal account I have transferred and spent money with online through it. I like it a lot. The only concern I have is that I am not sure if I am verified here on mylot. I have never reached the minimum payout yet and wil be soon. Is it easy if I already signed up and how do I go about finding out what steps I have missed?

Hmmnn..nice,one of my paypal account is verified because I bought a loadable visa gift card.If you have a loadable visa/debit gift card it provides you a bank routing number and account number without opening a bank account with them.
Just try,hope that helps for all the readers.

I have had a Paypal account for years and also I have a credit card to verity it. I would think if someone doesn't have a credit card most everyone has a debit card that they could use to verify their Paypal account.
