Hi @jessie2512,

Welcome to the community forum and thanks for posting. 

You can verify your PayPal account by linking and confirming a credit or debit card. We ask you to link and confirm your card to verify that you are the card owner.
 

Here’s how to link and confirm your card:

1. Log in to your PayPal account.
2. Click Wallet at the top of the page.
3. Click + Link a card or bank.
4. Click Link a debit or credit card.
5. Enter your details and click Link Card.
6. Click the new card and then click Confirm Card.

If you have already added your card, or if you have trouble completing these steps, then you can access it directly by logging in to your PayPal account and visiting https://www.paypal.com/mem-number.

In some cases, your card may be automatically confirmed. If this is the case, no further action is required.
 

If the card you are adding is already confirmed on another PayPal account, you may be prompted to complete additional steps.
 

We’ll charge your card $1.95 USD. This charge and a 4-digit PayPal code appear on your card statement within 2 to 3 business days. The code sequence appears as PayPal*1234CODE or PP*1234CODE. You will need the first 4 digits to confirm your card. After the card is confirmed, we will immediately refund the card. Your card issuer will credit your card balance within 30 days from the date of the refund.

If you can’t access your online statement or this 4-digit code is unavailable online, check your next paper statement for this code. We cannot provide you with the 4-digit confirmation code by any other method.

After you have confirmed your card, we immediately refund the amount charged to the same card. You can view the refund in your transaction history.

If the card is not confirmed within 75 days since the confirmation process started, the charge will be automatically refunded to your card.

If you remove your card or close your account during the time frames above, the return of the credit may not process. In these instances, you may need to contact PayPal Customer Service to have the charge manually refunded.
 

To enter the 4-digit PayPal code to confirm your card there should be a notification on your home page. Otherwise:

1. Log in to your PayPal account
2. Click Wallet near the top of the page.
3. Click the card you're confirming.
4. Enter the 4-digit PayPal code from your card statement and submit.
