Before you use your PayPal Account you should ensure that you take the time to "verify" your account.  This normally requires linking and confirming a bank account.

You can also link and confirm a credit card as a backup funding source.

After you’ve added your card number, you'll need to confirm that you own the card. Here’s how:

Locate the charge and a code on your card statement

• PayPal will charge $1.95 to your card. (Once you have confirmed your card, this amount is refunded to your PayPal account immediately or to your card within 30 days.)
• The charge appears on your debit or credit card statement with a 4-digit code and the word PAYPAL. If you view your card statements online, you can check for the code in a few days. Otherwise, check for the code when you receive your next statement in the mail.
