Hey there, to make PayPal as safe as possible for everyone, we ask all customers to 'Verify' their account information. A PayPal account is 'Verified' when the account holder has confirmed his or her identity by successfully completing our verification process. A PayPal account is 'Unverified' when the account holder has yet to complete this process.
To become Verified, log in to your account and click the 'Unverified' link on the Account Overview page. This will bring up a 'Get Verified' page.
The first stage of getting verified is to Set up Bank Funding:
Add your UK bank account.
Click 'Submit Bank funding Agreement'.
Read the information and click 'Set up Bank Funding'.
After you initiate the Bank Funding Process, PayPal sends 2 deposits between 0.01 and 0.99 GBP to your bank account. These deposits will be at PayPal's expense so we won't ask for them to be paid back. They will arrive within 2 to 3 working days.
When you know the amounts of the deposits:
Log in to your PayPal account at www.paypal.co.uk
Click 'Profile' near the top of the page.
Click 'My money'.
click 'Update' beside 'Bank accounts'.
Select the bank account and 'Confirm'.
Enter the two amounts. If there is more than one bank account listed, choose the appropriate bank account by using the drop-down menu
Click 'Submit'.
Your bank account wil be confirmed if the amounts are correct.
Hope that helps.
