re: Paypal wants you to get verified or get a Paypal credit card What's worse about this situation is that I went through it when I first got my Paypal account, and ended up deciding to go the "Paypal credit card" route. That worked for a couple years, and then then suddenly decided that I no longer had a "Paypal credit card" and reinstated the sending limit, even though I still had the card. As far as I can tell, they must have come to a new agreement with a new CC company (the old one was with MBNA) and invalidated all(?) of the old cards. To add insult to injury, they recently arbitraritly lowered my sending limit - it had been $10K and I hadn't reached it yet. Suddenly it was $5K and I had exceeded it. Since Paypal also does not handle joint credit cards or joint bank accounts properly, all I can conclude is that this is a convoluted scam to force people to get multiple Paypal credit cards so they can harvest the CC fees from the merchants.
