Is there a way to get your Paypal account verified without using a bank account or gettng their credit card? I don't have a bank account. Also, I wis their was a way to get your money from paypal for those of u who dont have a bank account. A prepaid visa would be a good idea. They could load ourfunds onto it whenever you request payment and you could use it like acredit or debit card. What do you think?

how can you transfer your earnings from paypal if you don't have a bank account? i suggest you open a debit card like what i did. It has zero maintaining balance so they can't get anything from my account. i transfered my paypal earnings to my bank card just last month and then i made a withdrawal of all my earnings thru atm :)

What kind of debit card did you open? My credit isn't good so I have trouble getting credit cards and things like that.

queenlove, we are not from the same country. i opened an EON Unionbank Bank Card just for my online earnings. I just paid around $8 when i received the card. that was supposed to be my yearly fee already. my transfer from paypal to my EON card went smoothly. after a few days, i was able to withdraw my money from the ATM.

Oh I see...so that option is probably not available here in the United States. :( Well, thanks for the advice anyway. Maybe one day paypal will come out with a prepaid debit card of some sort that the funds can be transferred onto. That would be agood idea. Actually, I am surprised they have not thought to do that. Hmm...perhaps I should e-mail Paypal and make a suggestion to do that??? Thanks for posting. ~Love

One of my paypal account is verified by using a loadable visa/debit gift card.Having a loadable visa/debit gift card,you don't have to open a bank account. Hope that helps.

I tried to do that as well, but I dont see that option. I thought I verified one before with my credit card, but I dont see how to do that anymore, if you see the link to where I can use a credit/debit card, please PM me with it? I would appreciate it. Thanks.
