How to Verify PayPal with VCC
If you
have been making purchases regularly online, you would know how convenient
online transactions can be. With a valid credit card, you can buy all kinds of
stuff online. From physical goods such as furniture and T-shirts to electronic
goods such as e-books or domain names.
To make an
online purchase, you need a credit card or an electronic account that holds a
positive balance. An example is a Paypal account. Paypal is one of the most
popular payment solution available on the Internet. It is used by millions of
people worldwide. With an active Paypal account, you can make purchases online
just by logging in with your Paypal details. There is no need to enter lengthy
credit card numbers or other personal information. That makes online purchases
a lot more convenient.
The reason
why you don't need a valid credit card is because you would have already
entered your credit card information into your Paypal account. Paypal does
require you to verify the credit card information that you entered. Today, you
can even verify a Paypal account with a virtual credit card (VCC).
A VCC is
an electronic version of a credit card. There are no physical cards issued.
Each VCC can be used for only one transaction. All unused credits are not
refundable. So it's important that all credits are used when making a purchase.
Here is
how you can verify Paypal with VCC:
Step 1: Go to the official Paypal website and create an account.
Note that there are phishing websites that look almost exactly like the
official sites. These sites are built for illegal purposes. So make sure that
the website you are visiting is the official one.
Step 2: You will receive an email requiring you to confirm your
Paypal account. Check the email account that you used when you sign up for an
account, and you should find the email.
Step 3: You may then login to your account. As soon as you login,
check that your account is still "Unverified".
Step 4: Click on the "Unverified" link and you will be
asked to enter your credit card details. Instead of using a physical credit
card, enter your VCC details.
Step 5: Click on "Get Number" at the bottom of the page
to retrieve the 4 digit verification code.
Step 6: You will receive an online statement within the next
minute or so with the verification code. Use this code to verify your Paypal
account.
Step 7: Your account should be verified once you enter the correct
verification code. You can check the status from your account. The texts
"Verified" should now appear under your name.
You can
use a VCC to verify your Paypal account because a VCC has information that is
similar to a real credit card. You have a 16 digit credit card number, a 3
digit CVV2/CVC2 Code Number and an expiry date. Note that a VCC expires within
24 hours if unused (for security reasons). So make sure you verify your Paypal
account with your VCC before it expires.
