Hello.

 

This was my first time withdrawing money from paypal. I linked my unverified visa (paypapl.com didnt ask for any verification) and did a withdraw to money and it was successful and gave me a transaction ID. 

Now i knew about the verification process from youtube so i requested a 4 pin code. Am i in a problem that i withdrew before verifying the visa ?

You mean you did not confirm your Visa card with the 4-digit code before you withdraw money? Apparently, if you do not confirm your Visa card you can't use the card as a funding source or payment method but it does not say you can't withdraw to it. So if the withdraw went through then it's not a problem.

What if I don't confirm my debit or credit card?

 

Your account’s security is our top priority. That’s why we ask that you link and confirm your debit or credit card to verify that you’re the card owner.

 

If you can’t find or have misplaced your PayPal code, we can send you a new code. If you are unable to confirm your debit or credit card you will/may not be able to use it as a funding source.


Here’s how to request a new 4-digit code:

 

  1. Click Confirm my debit or credit card in the Notifications box.
  2. Click Resend PayPal Code at the bottom of the page.
  3. Click Save and Continue.

If an unauthorized person enters your PayPal code incorrectly 5 times, we disable your credit card for use with PayPal to help protect you.

 

Click Contact Us at the bottom of any PayPal page, then contact Customer Service so we can re-add the card for you. Once we have re-added the card, you can ask to have the 4-digit code re-sent.


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

Yes you are right. I withdrew money before i verify my visa cause i didn't know about the process and the website didn't ask my to do so. Now it shows in the "completed" transactions.

I thought verifying request would stop the money and it will be lost in a limbo between paypal and my bank.
