Can I verify my paypal account using my metro bank credit card? Or does it have to be a union bank credit card?

Good news, you can now use smart money card to verify your paypal account. Search on google. I tried it myself and it worked like charm. I was able to verify my paypal account in less than 5 minutes. The four digit EXPUSE number came through text in less than 5 seconds after i added my card.

Just be sure your card has at least 200pesos and you should call their tollfree hotline to have your card activated. And only the new smart money cards can be used.

Unfortunately you cant withraw or fund your paypal account using smart money. Just for verification purpose.

Hi James. I hope you can help me re-establish my account with paypal international. My original paypal account was opened in January 2008 linking my credit card in the process and using my e-mail address @ raularc0407@yahoo.com with confirmation code 1608-1712-1541-5892-8413. Unfortunately, there was, according to paypal, unauthorized accessed, which I failed to act on it because I did not know the correct procedure. My account was suspended. I re-applied linking my other credit card using the above e-mail address, which I received paypal’s confirmation code 1022-6381-0783-4719-1915. Paypal required identification documents, which I submitted. I waited for their confirmation. When I log in to my account, I noted that paypal permanently dis-abled my account.

Can You help with htis problem, I need this very badly because of my international transactions, which is for my own protection.

thank you

Hi James. I hope you can help. My PayPal balance is zero but I have 2 credit cards linked to my account. I need to send payment online but I get a message that I have to add money for my transaction to go through. I read in previous posts that PayPal gets funds from my credit card if my PayPal balance is insufficient. How do I do this? I also read in PayPal’s FAQ on how to change/manage Funding Options but I cannot find these buttons!

Please help! Thanks!

Bago lang po ako sa PAYPAL….. actually i was able to enroll and get verified merely by following several steps shared by paypal bloggers sa net. but still hindi ko alam how safe paypal is: here are some question that could help clearout my mind:

1) if a person gets my email and pay me via paypal how long will the transaction reflect on my PAYPAL current balance for me to know that the transaction made was good???

2) Is there any risk in PAYPAL similar to Western Union, that if a person who pays first would have a greater risk that his counter part would run away from the obligation agreed upon????

3) If a person pays through paypal, if the second party has scammed the payer. Is there a possibility that the payer can cancel the payment made or not?????

please helppppppppppppp. tnx

Hi cyrus, yes you can use a local debit card with Paypal. UnionBank's EON debit card is acceptable for use in Paypal.

I thought I can use my local debit card for paypal.
I read “you can use credit / debit card” along the instructions,
but when I registered it required the debit card to be from a US based bank.
Oh well, I’l just use my credit card instead.

Thanks for the post though, it’s pretty helpful.

Hi! we want to open a paypal account for our 3 corporations. There are interested international companies and individuals who wanted to pay or transfer funds thru their credit cards. What are the requirements needed for us to register these three corporations and maintain a paypal account?if we are only a receivership/recepient of fund, do we need to have a credit card? as i understand, credit cards are only for individuals not for a corporation.

i appreciate any information that you could give us asap.

thank you,

Hi jonhar, I think you’re referring to the 4-digit Expanded Use number. Here’s some more info about how to get that Expanded Use number in Unionbank.

If you used a UnionBank Visa Credit Card, you can find the 4-digit Expanded Use Number on your next monthly paper statement or by viewing your Visa Transaction History online.

If you used EON Cyberaccount or eWallet, you need to contact UnionBank Customer Service Call Center at 84-186 (if it doesn’t work, use 841-8600) and ask the customer service agent to provide you with the 4-digit PayPal Expanded Use (EXPUSE) code. You may need to tell the agent the exact date you applied for the Expanded Use (EXPUSE) code.

Minsan, may mga agents talaga jan na nde alam yun. Pero try calling again at may makakalalam din nun.
