    Verifying paypal

    When I first signed up for Paypal, I didn't take it seriously, and didn't put my real name. Now I can't verify it T.T Can't believe how dumb I was.

    Anyway to change this? Will +rep for help.

    DO you really need your real name when youre using a prepaid credit card to verify your paypal?

    If youre using a legit credit/debit card then yea you need your real name/

    The only way to change your name is to contact PayPal and send in proof of your name ( Passport, driver's licence etc. )

    You can just create a new account under your real name and verify it then.

    I think you have to attach it to a bank account to verify it, but isn't it good unverified for up to ten grand?
    Just make a new account... transfer the money from the old to the new and there you go. Setting up a bank account should be free too.

    I was thinking of doing this, but I rather like my email that I'm using now.

    @(you need an account to see links) Yeah it's good up to 10k but the thing is I can't actually withdraw the cash and buy a drink, I can only spend it online...

    you dont need to have a bank account to verify it. You just need a prepaid card. Thats why you dont need your real name.

    I believe you cant send/recieve money if your paypal is unverified

    I wouldn't use my personal email for paypal because you are going to be giving it out a lot and paypal sends a lot of mail. As for the cash transferring, can you buy giftcards online? Very roundabout way of doing things, but it could work...

    I changed my name no problem lol
    Just go into your settings and there should be a place to change your name.
    What's my definition of success?
    Creating something no one else can
    Being brave enough to dream big
    Grindin' when you're told to just quit
    Giving more when you got nothin' left

    Wouldn't PayPal ask you for some proof?
