Hi Guys,

Anyone know how I can verify a paypal account without my details?

Thanks!!

I don't believe you can, not in a legal way. But I could be wrong.

I just linked my checking account and debit card with PayPal.

But isn't that using my details??

Oh, good point. Well there's no point for PayPal to mark anonymous accounts verified because they have no idea who you are, thus they cannot verify you.

You can verify by phone too .. from what I recall.

I don't think you can buddy, I verified my PayPal by them sending me 2 micro payments to my bank account and I had to look at my bank statement and enter the 2 amounts on PayPal and then my account was verified.

Without details? Not that I'm aware of.

The whole point of verification is so they can have your details, BRO.

The only other way I had been told of was if I opened a 'NET SPEND' (pre paid) card online, used the details off this card and registered them on Paypal however when I tried on Net Spend, it would not let me register for a card :-(

Basically I need a paypal account where I can receive  payment and not have it 'on hold' for 21 days..

Why you want to "verify" without your real informations?

This wouldn't be fair!

The only ways to gain access are add CC,get a paypal CC or link bank account so you have to have your details

This ^

The only reason if you are getting a 21-day hold on receiving funds is payments from buyers on eBay. If you're selling on eBay and want to get rid of the 21-day hold, you need to get a lot of feedback  (100+) and have been a member of eBay and PayPal for a few months. If you're selling and not scamming on eBay, 21 days isn't that bad. And getting your PayPal verified will not lift the 21-day hold.

this is bad.

What exactly is bad?  :)

You can create a paypal account without id, but I don't think you can verify it.

You don't even need ID for a PayPal account just your bank account to verify. But knowing PayPal after some time they will no doubt limit you and demand ID but that's just how they work....

For most countries you could just buy a pre-paid card and link it to your PayPal to get verified, but for the U.S and Canada they only way is verifying your bank account.

I am pretty sure you can use a green dot prepaid debit card.

That's exactly what I was trying to say.

I don't think Paypal can work with prepaid because prepaid is not attached to a bank account. Paypal is the very opposite of bitcoin she wants to be sure that you are traceable :D

Bitcoins can be traced very easily. Remember bitcoin transactions are pseudonymous, not anonymous.

In IT/Finance/Legal when one says traced it means who (with the true identities of the parties) not just what. I'm newbie to bitcoin for now so maybe I'm mistaken but as far as I can see all that is traceable are transactions (the what) ?

can't you read??? this

The FBI traced the bitcoin donations to freedom hosting's bitcoin exchange account, which led to the guy. Just saying, it's possible.

Bitcoins are traceable

Paypal sucks but it's fact of life.

I have two paypal accounts with the purpose of sending money from gift card balances. It's a relatively easy way for me to convert cash into PayPal balance and then pay for graphics cards.

NOOB checking in.

yeah
