Asking for my card details! - Anyone else?

[Squash05]

Dear XXXXX

You linked your debit or credit card to your PayPal account on . To make sure the card is yours, we made a small charge to it that you'll need to confirm (and we'll refund the money to your PayPal account when you're done).

The charge creates a unique 4-digit code on your card statement. If you don't see the charge right away, don't worry - sometimes it takes a few days to show up. If you can't check your card statement online, check your paper statement when it comes in the mail (this can take up to 30 days). You will find the charge from PayPal with a 4-digit code.

Just seems strange asking for details. anyone else got the same?

That's not strange. It's part of the PayPal card confirmation process. This is how PayPal confirms you own the card and have access to the card account get this PayPal 4-digit code to enter into the PayPal Wallet page for the card so you can make payments with the card through PayPal. Just don't reply to the email with the code but log on to PayPal account, go to the Wallet page, click on the card, to enter the 4-digit code.
