Stupid Paypal


Recommended Posts

I am trying to get in on Timdors web server deal but im not having much luck with paypal... I had a old paypal account but I had to close that so i created a new account and entered Visa credtit card. BTW i do live in the USA. Right after that it chanrged me $2 for the expanded use program...and wants me to now enter that expanded use number! I just got last months statement and this means i will have to wait a whole nother month to get this number? I had no problem with my previous account and was instalntly able to send out money..is there anyway to send money now?

Thanks

I use mastercard and after a couple of days, the charge shows up on my online Mastercard statement. Just log on to your Visa account and check your statement. Paypal takes about 5-7 days to charge you on your credit card, so it wont show up on your online statement right away.

You might try giving your credit card company a call and ask them for the verification number.

They are not allowed to give out the verification number over the phone, by fax, by anything. Only way to get your number is from your statement.

I don't think I can access my credit card info online :blink: ... I have a visa card but its through the suncoast school credit union..? (Fla)... I know, i got an email form paypal telling you not to call your bank/cc company for the number... :ninja:

I'm pretty sure you do. I know some people with student cc and they can access their stuff online. If you cant then you're out of luck, cant use paypal for a month :/

Well they are just trying to make sure you are the owner of the card.

I"m sure you'd flip it around if some guy took your number down and used it for paypal and ask why they are so stupid to let him use it right away. What about adding a bank account? Don't want to do that?

Then i guess you should money order if you can.

So, your saying i could add a bank account # and it would be verrfied without needing the expanded use thingy?

hmm, I never had to verify my credit card. I signed up for tims hosting, made a paypal account, went to pay,it asked me if I had a paypal account said yes and used my login info. Then I entered my credit card number. Pay pal remember my credit card number and later on down the road I verfied a bank account, but never the credit card.

I am really so confused right now... I am not going to wait a month to do some stupid expaded use thhing..i really dont want to have a $10,000 send limit or anything I just went to send small amounts of money thorugh my redit card. Right now it saids i need to do expanded use program and verify account. Can i just skip the expanded use number thing right now and just verify a bank account? If i entered a savngs account would i be go to go with using the credt card?

You might have tried this... but have you considered calling and asking them? When I signed up, I was able to recieve money without any verification (I didn't send anything out until I verified).

Yes Bank Account and Credit Card are separate.

You can add a bank account in the mean time. You will still need to verify it but at least you can go to the bank and find out. They deposits usually happen within 2-3 business days, i got my deposits the day after (it will tell you on paypal when they deposit) and all you have to do is enter the exact amount of the deposit and you can send money.

Then when you get your credit card all set up you can use that too. You'll be able to choose the funding source so you can opt between your credit card or Bank account.

Hmmm..This is just all to confusing..I really dont wanna get my bank account involved though, just want to use credit card. I guess the only way get this stupif number is wait for my monthly statment! :(

I quick question...Since i think the problem is me making too many accounts with the same credit card number..could i try adding a diffrent credit card even though it has all the same billing info and maybe it will go right through without expanded use thingy? Think that would work?

anyways timdorr does accept checks too , you could email him and explain your situation.

I understnad that it does work for some people. What i need to try right now is either add a new credit card number or create a whole nother account with a new credit card number...I am just wondering, before i try this, if this will indeed work? Should I just go ahead and add an andiditonal credit card to my exisiting account or should i make sure everything is fresh and create a totally new account wiht a diffrent card? Sorry if this doesnt make sense... :(

I just paid Tim yesterday with PayPal for the server, and it wasn't easy. I signed up for the account in mid December, and it just added my money yesterday.

What do you mean added money? Payed by credit card?
