I want to know how I can verify my PayPal account but I don't have any credit cards?
I am still a student and don't have any income is the reason why I don't have any credit cards.:( I'm trying my luck in online jobs but I can't get paid because of my unverified account. Help me please. I need a legit/legal, scam free and proven answer.

You're Pinoy right? Go to your nearest Union Bank branch and apply for an EON Cyber Account. Bring your school ID and if you don't have any other ID's bring an NBI clearance or birth certificate. You will also need to provide the bank officer a photocopy of your ID. Once you've filled up the form, the bank officer will tell you to come back in 10 days to claim your EON Debit Card. When you come back, bring P350 for the annual fee. You might also want to bring an extra P200 to deposit in your account.
The Eon Card is a VISA debit card which you can use to verify your Paypal account and/or use it for other online transactions. It also functions as a Union Bank Savings Account and ATM card.
Somebody above suggest a Virtual Credit Card. Don't. If Paypal finds out you used a VCC to verify your PP account, they will block your PP account and you'll be sorry then if you have money in that Paypal account.
Merry Christmas, kabayan. ^^

Nice suggestion, SpoiledBrat. I'm also Pinoy. I'll also try your suggestion. I have a Payoneer ATM Card (Mastercard Debit Card like EON) that I often use in online transations. I have tried verifying my Paypal account by linking that card. But the process was unsuccessful. Why? Is it because it is a debit card and not a credit card?

I've had my PayPal account for many years, almost ten years now and I have verified it with my bank account. Not sure if this option is open to newer accounts and you may need to bein the states, really not sure. I can sent small amounts of money to and from the bank VIA PayPal.

Smartmoney can be use to verify your paypal but you can't withdraw your money there. It's best to open an account in UB. It's a long process so might as well start with opening up an account first. If you need help I can assist you. Add me to your list of friends here in my lot and leave a message. I'll get back to you as soon as I return from vacation. Happy holidays kabayan!

I am not so sure. As so far I just know it can be verify by credit card. But I don't think it is so important to verify your Paypal account if you are not an online seller. You can still get your payment even if your Paypal account is not verified yet.
I love China

you can try a virtual credit card. i have heard that it works well to verify your paypal account. however you may as well gather some more information before you actually purchase one. i haven't purchased any VCC because i don't need one as yet. one such site that has a reliable admin is http://vcc.toppaidtopromote.com please check on your own to reach a decision. good luck
