   How does Verification benefit you?

  • Improves your reputation.
    Let others know you're a Verified member of the PayPal community. Once you're Verified, you can add your own PayPal Verified seal to your eBay listings.
     
  • Increases the security of your PayPal transactions.
    Because banks are required by law to screen account holders, Verification authenticates a member's identity and increases the security of the PayPal network for everyone.
     
  • Gives you more funding options.
    Fund purchases directly from your checking or savings account, in addition to using credit cards. Plus, payments from your bank account are 100% protected against unauthorized withdrawals.
     
  • Allows you to add money to your PayPal account balance.
    Also, PayPal Premier and Business Account holders can use the free PayPal ATM/Debit Card to access funds at Cirrus/Maestro ATMs worldwide, or make purchases wherever MasterCard is accepted.
     
  • Enables you to send cash to friends and family.
    Pay your share of a split restaurant check, send rent to your roommate, and more.
