[i]I was shocked this morning when I was about to transfer my money from paypal to my bank and found out that I was "unverified", What? I was using this paypal for 5 months already since I started Mylot...how come? I was excited that we were paid early this month but have to hold on and call paypal again about this....Anyway, do you have any idea? do you experience this? I thought when I was verified, I will be verified all the way...Frustrating![/i]

how were you verified? did you use a credit card that has the same billing address as your home? its quite simple to get verified, but if you move or if your credit card changes, you need to reverify.

I was thinking maybe an email change could cause this too. But I just changed my email and don't recall having to verify again. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

We didn't move and no address changes, I used my bank account to verify and wonder what made it go back to unverified! I am frustrated really!

Have you ever transferred funds to a bank acount previously? If not this may be the reason behind the unverified status. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I am not satisfied with their explanation..just called up and told me that I have to fax them again my routing and account number and go back to the first procedure! I told them how come, I was able to make transactions before if there was a problem? anyway, I am trying to cool myself.....patience is a virtue! LOL!

at least you have more time to boost up your earnings for you to be able to add it up on the amount you have on your paypal account now. right? i bet you get to reach payout like 5 to 10 days before the deadline. haha! i admire you for your hardwork too!

well you have to clarify it it is not simple to be a verified paypal and card owner you have to pin point if your account is match with the 2. kinda hard to understand that but i know you will solve it eventually...

I would call them and talk to them personally, there is a lot of scam jobs out there associated with paypal. I only had to do it once and never had any trouble yet! But I put it in my account as soon as MYlot pays me.

There are many people encounters the same problem with paypal. Even websites. I think the paypal system do commits errors sometimes. It is the responsibility of the paypal admin to check on this matter before they loose their clients. Really frustrating.

In order to be verified in paypal. You have to write down your route and account number. That's what I did. And then, to finish the verification, paypal will deposit you two small amount to make sure that the route and account number you gave to them really belongs to you. I have no idea why you have to reverify your paypal account like what you said you have verified it already. All you have to do is to contact paypal regarding that matter. I am sure they will explain and help you with that

That is really bad and frustrating my friend. I am also a member of paypal but my earnings from mylot are still intact with paypal and I thought of making a withdrawal by the end of the year or so. I am afraid this will happen to me but I wish not. It has been six days since you posted this so I guess you already have settled your account and withdrew your money. Have a great day my friend...

I have no idea, I have never had anything transferred from my PayPal to my account. I just got my first payout. This will be a first for me. I have had PayPal get money from my account and I have never had any problem with that. I hope they get this straighten out. I just read another discussion where the user had a problem also with this transaction.

[i]Hi Chevee, Hopefully, this will not happen again and not also to anyone...I talked to them that it was quite illogical to have a smooth transaction for several months and now I have to redo the process! Anyway, i have no choice and that is to follow what they want me to do again! Thanks for sharing![/i]

That's madness, I've experience something similar to what you are going through. Sell bags and a lady paid me and paypal said I had verify, which was already verified, so they sent me a code and when I entered it, it wasn't going through, and all this time the lady had paid and was waiting for her shipment, I felt so bad cause I don't like to have my customers waiting, Paypal was taking sooooo long, I had to refund my customer her money (a sale lost. Then I discovered moneybookers which is sooo much convenient than paypal, I must say. I totally understand what you are going through, it is frustrating.

I hope that doesn't happen to me. I have actually read in this forum and others, that a lot of people are having problems with their paypal accounts these days. I have had the same account with them for the last 2 years and have never had a problem and hope to never have one. I hear it is really hard to get a problem fixed these days with them as they seem to be having lots of them. I have heard where some people have had to hold on the phone with them, for up to a couple hours, before getting someone on the phone. It would be very frustrating and I don't know if I would have the patience to do it, but then I guess I wouldn't have a choice if I wanted my money. I am earning around $100 a month and when I do, I always have the money put into my bank account so I can spend it. hehe What is the use of having it if I can't spend it. I wish you luck with getting the problem fixed. Maybe you will be the lucky one to get ahold of a customer service person right away.

[i]Hi chris, ohhh..it happens to me when I called them yesterday, I have to wait for almost an hour because the guy said, he will checked something and I was told to redo the process and i asked for another alternative since i told him that it's very unreasonable for me to do it thinking I was having a smooth transaction for the last couple of months....anyway, have no choice and have to do it! I wish it will not happen again to anyone...very frustrating indeed![/i]

To get verified, you have to tell paypal what the 2 amounts of money they deposit into your bank account. There may be a button that says "Get verified" or something like that. It's actually really easy.

[i]Hi wrld, yea..I finished that stage and I was verified for a couple of months already and suddenly, I was unverified again! HUH! I am doing again the process...thanks for sharing![/i]

Hi Che, I did not transfer my money yet for several months now. I just did it once and that was 7 months ago. I am not sure if I will receive the same instruction you did. But when I check my paypal account I can see the big word there..VERIFIED.. so It will be a big questions mark for m too if they will tell me that my account is unverified. Can you not see in your account online that you are verified? If you are verified and they said to you NO.. well, that is upsetting. Negligence of duty.. hahahaha Good luck.. you can buy costumes now for Halloween. JOKe!!!

[i]Hi Bebs, yea, when I checked there yesterday to transfer the money, I saw it was unverified and I called after lunch and was told that I need to redo the process since they found out some error and they can't explain how it happens! ANyway, I have no plan to have any costume during this Halloween...hahhahaa...I will just enjoy to watch other people! LOL![/i]
