Help with PayPal's Credit Card Confirmation/Activation Process

I Just joined paypal and would like to make a CC purchase, but I'm hoping to get a few things cleared up before I do so. My CC was added to my profile three business days ago, the billing address has been confirmed, but the verification charge has been pending ever since. I gather from the below help topic that my card needs the four digit code that results once the charged is finalized (although I've never been prompted by paypal in the carding adding process to do so, I had to search through the help center to come up with this)... A couple things with this: first, this seems to be taking too long to get the code, but secondly what's more confusing is that when I go to my paypal credit card profile I see no "Link and Confirm My Card" option where I supposedly enter the code. Does this mean my card is ready to use? It could be I do not see the link until my charge is finalized and the code is available, but that seems weird.

And this next topic makes no mention of the code entering process, which makes me wonder further about this.

A little confused and a little frustrated, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.

This bascially how the process works.

 

Credit cards would receive the 4 digit code on a line with a US $1.95 (or equivalent in some other countries) charge. The number would appear before the word PayPal on your credit card statement. To enter your PayPal code, log in to your PayPal account, click Profile at the top of the page and click Credit Cards under Financial Information. Upon entering the proper code, that amount is refunded to your PayPal balance.

 

You may need to contact PayPal's Customer Support for assistance and other questions.
