    he should forward the mail or claim to spoof@paypal.com

    There's nothing strange about the request. As nd pointed out, it's European Union anti-money laundering regulations that require Paypal to verify the identity of anyone who receives more that 1,000 euro in their Paypal account.

    You'll see the request when you log into your Paypal account.

    Many thanks for your help, I got it sorted. Linked my bank account with the old paypal account through which I received and it's all fixed up nicely now. Thanks once again! :)

    I just got this email after I paid someone with my 3v card.
    Hello,

    Now that you've discovered how easy it is to pay with your bank account, why not become Verified and enjoy these benefits:
    - Fund purchases directly from your checking or savings account, in addition to using credit cards
    - Improve your reputation by letting others know you're a confirmed, Verified member of the PayPal community
    - Send money to friends, family, and PayPal Personal Account holders
    - Add money to your PayPal account directly from your bank account


    Get Verified today -- click on the link below to confirm your bank account:

    https://www.paypal.com/ie/VERIFY

    Sincerely,
    PayPal



    However after confirming I still don't seem to actually be able to do any of this.

    You can't fund directly with a bank account in Ireland, this works in USA and UK, but not here. You can verify your account with the 3V card, just follow the instructions. This won't do much for you though, except it shows sellers that Paypal have at least verified the account, so you're less likely to be a scammer.

    You can fund your paypal acount using just your bank account.


    Log in, go to "Top Up Account"


    "Send a domestic bank transfer to PayPal

    Beneficiary Name
    PAYPAL PTE LTD
    Bank
    Bank of America N.A., Dublin
    Bank code (Sorting Code)

    A transfer takes approx. 3 working days.

    Just to let other people know aswell, 3v have the same policy,if you have spent €2,500 within under 12 months,they will send you an email telling you will have to submit some utility bills or bank satements along with a certified photocopy of your passport*which will be done at the garda station*,and send back the documents in the evenlope that 3v sends it out in,so open the evenlope very carefully as you will have to reuse it...

    Guys I just bought a 3V card today and I've linked it to my paypal account and verified it, but how do i put the funds from it into the paypal account? :o

    Thanks


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,616 ✭✭✭97i9y3941


    i dont think you can,the 3v card value is used through paypal itself,i.e for instance if you bought something off the net,and the company accepts paypal payments,you can nominate your 3v voucher as the fund,although im sure you could send the money from the 3v card to the paypal bank,but it would take too long along with fees been incured for the process,so maybe your just better to pay from the 3v card,paypal will see it as a source of funding anyway...

    I figured it out eventually:o

    You pay using paypal and paypal in turn draw it on your 3V card, the funds don't actually show on your paypal account:)

    Thanks for the help.:)

    Guys,
    HAve been with Paypal a good while now and had a credit card, my only one, linked to it there for the last 2 years and made 10's of thousands of euro of purchases off it.

    The card expired, I renewed the card with the likes of Skype and Paddy power etc but when I try Paypal it tells me I can't as the address can't be verified

    The address is the same, the number is the same but the expiry date and 3 digit number a now different.

    I emailed them and got loads of the same about not been able to verify etc and that I had to get a brand new number and card from my credit card company!!

    Has anyone got a way around this, my postcode is in as NONE btw.

    Thanks


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,616 ✭✭✭97i9y3941


    i dont think they can vertify it anyway,my address isnt either too if i remember,because paypal does the uk and usa....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,713 ✭✭✭✭jor el


    I have the same problem renewing my card every time it expires. Paypal are stupid, and they keep trying to verify against a postcode, even though they know we don't use them.

    I've found Default works for postcode, but you might also have to try variations of where you put Town/City, County, etc too.

    the telephone area code works sometimes...

    I recently put a claim in because a seller was to refund me and then never got back to me so I had to escalate it to a claim.

    Now its states that if the seller doesn't respond to Paypal in 10 days I will automatically get my money back. Its now the 11th day and the status on my claim still states: "Waiting on sellers response".

    Should this not state something else and should I have my refund by now, or at least notification that it was awarded in my favour?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,713 ✭✭✭✭jor el


    Are you counting from when you escalated to a claim, or when you started the dispute in the first place?

    It should auto-end after 10 days, but that would probably be on day 11 anyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,077 ✭✭✭PCros


    Your right jor el, just got the email there saying I got me euros back!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 77 ✭✭Shaneod21


    Adding money to paypal is very simple. Just go to paypal and log on-> then add funds. You just need to register your bank account, they charge 2 small amounts and you just need to verify these amounts.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,713 ✭✭✭✭jor el


    That doesn't work in Ireland, as already stated. There is a way around it, but it takes several days to go through.

    I've been happily using my Halifax Visa Debit card with PayPal for months. I tried to buy something last night with PayPal and I got the following error message:
    We were unable to verify your credit or debit card. To proceed with your purchase, please select a different payment method or add a different credit or debit card, then click Continue.

    Now I only used it last week to buy something from the same site (jomzajung) the same way (paypal).

    Does anybody know why it's suddenly not working anymore? Also to compound my confusion I logged into my Halifax online banking and the money has been reserved from my account but I received no PayPal receipt.

    Any insights would be much appreciated please! thanks in advance.

    Yeah linked and confirmed already. I emailed paypal and they got back to me very quickly telling me to contact Halifax.

    This had been asked and answered a million times already. You don't add funds to Paypal from any kind of credit card, including 3V, and your visa bill will be in your 3V account. If you log into your Paypal account you will find information about how to transfer money from a bank.


    Well said!

    Guys,

    I've been sending money through paypal for the last few years without any problems, but i sold somthing last week for 80 Euro, everything was grand and had an balance of around 80.00 Euro,

    So next week i bought 2 items for around 60 euro, and the money came out of the balance

    So my question is paypal used my available balance on the 2 bought items yeah?

    And will it show up on my transaction list? I dont see it anywhere?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,616 ✭✭✭97i9y3941


    yup paypal would had used the available funds/balance to pay for items,when you log into paypal,you will see your balance in your account and below you will see a history of your recent transaction and how much you paid..

    Irish independent
    Cyberclinic: How did a total stranger gain access to my Paypal account?

    By Rhodri Marsden
    Wednesday July 15 2009


    This is a tricky confession to make. It's a bit like an agony aunt admitting to infidelity, or a gardening columnist announcing full details of their potato blight.

    But after years of dispensing advice on how to avoid online fraud, well, I've become a victim of online fraud. I may be about to forfeit what little authority I have, but I think my slightly self-conscious line is going to be this: Hey, it can happen to anyone.

    When I received emails from Paypal last week informing me of my winning eBay bids for two cameras, I didn't give them a second thought. I hadn't placed any bids (cameras and I share a deep, mutual indifference) so I just assumed they were spam.

    You know, along the lines of: "Hey, you've won a camera! Click here, enter your password and watch us slowly take control of your identity."

    But they were swiftly followed by an alert that my Paypal account may have been compromised; apparently a chap called "Erick" from Northampton – if he exists at all – had won two high-end Canon cameras on eBay and used my hard-earned cash to pay for them.

    As a result of his underhand activity I was €1,305.74 down on the deal – a deal that I hadn't initiated, or even taken part in other than unwittingly hand over the money.

    Paypal, of course, didn't require me to have €1,305.74 knocking around in my account; it just swept the money across from my credit card – which for some asinine reason has a credit limit well over €3,500.

    After having spoken to reassuring Paypal representatives I have faith that the mess will sort itself out, but I'm still baffled as to how my account was accessed.

    I use unguessable jumbles of letters for passwords, never click on dodgy links in suspicious emails, and keep my computer secure and free from malware, as I hope you all do.

    But perhaps I haven't always been scrupulous about using a different password for every website, and that's something that I've just spent a day correcting.

    And if you don't have such a system, I'd develop one of your own. (I'm not convinced by password managers, simply because it only takes one password to be cracked to access all your others.)

    Paypal, for their part, now offer an additional layer of security that involves an SMS being sent to your mobile phone. I've just shamefacedly signed up for it, before going off to have a little cry.
