How do you verify a pay-pal account?

Answer 1

PayPal pay two very small amounts of money into your bank account.

Once these two amounts show up on your bank statement, log into PayPal and enter the two amounts into the boxes you see on PayPal for the purpose; sometimes you will find the option to enter the amounts in the "to do" section on the right-hand side of your PayPal account homepage.

Answer 2

You need to activate and verify the email you defined when opening the account and you also need to verify the credit card via entering a 4-digit number that will show up in your next credit card billing report.

In the UK, you need to add your bank account details to your PayPal account. PayPal will then make two very small deposits to your bank account (this will take several days to arrive). Once you have located the amounts on your bank statement, log into your payPal account and enter the two amounts - see the Related Links section below for more details.

Answer 3

It depends on the country. If you are located in the United States, it is by adding a bank account and receiving two deposit amounts under $1.00 each which you will not know the amounts until they show up on your bank statement. Think of these like a code. Enter them into your account to prove that you are the account holder.

Outside of the United States you may have the option of verifying by credit card. You will have to do a process similar to the above but by credit card. Regardless, it will tell you in your account how to verify your account and you cannot miss it as it will press you to do it.
