need help confirming location

aribragin · #1 08-15-2010

i need to confirm location in one part of the to do list...
i have to add a card inorder to receive the phonecall to confirm location....
i was told a vcc will not work for this anymore? such as visa or mastercard???? what can i do to go around this???

diplomatx · #2 08-15-2010

you actually just need a landline to confirm location.
paypal wants you to confirm your cc to prove you own it and confirm location to the phone # you have on you account. From what you post you need a phone number to confirm location. you can bypass this if your unverified, just add a bank account and that's all.

i have a call forwarding assigned already...but in order to receive the call i need to add a new card....and i was told vcc`s dont work for this no more..????

jesseinkaron · #4 08-15-2010

I just had the same problem.
It says add your credit card and then proceed to phone verification?
I added the credit card and then nothing happened?
What is supposed to happen ?
Do you need to talk to an employee ?
Or is an automated call with a pin code ?

aribragin · #5 08-15-2010

i believe its an automated call with a pin code...was your phoneline valid for activity?

jesseinkaron · #6 08-15-2010

My phone is a call forwarding service .. it works to verify ebay sellers account. .

However it often requires several attempts

aribragin · #7 08-16-2010

so you had to put in a vcc inorder to receive a call correct?

I have the same issue, I need to "Confirm Location." When I click the resolve button, it leads me to "Add Credit or Debit Card" page.
I'm supposed to add card info then continue with phone verification.

Can I use a vcc for this?

jesseinkaron · #9 08-24-2010

I am having no luck with the VCC ,

I add the credit card and nothing happens.

Has anyone been able to use a VCC to remove this limitation ?

jesseinkaron · #10 08-26-2010

Can anyone tell me if there is a solution to the " verify your location "
Add credit card to proceed to phone verification ?
Anyone out there have a VCC for this ?
I have 600 bucks in an account and the last step to resolve limitation is "confirm location"
If it helps .. I will pay for this advice . Just PM me if you know how to fix this.
I will pay a reasonable fee for anyone who can fix this ..

VCC as in Virtual Credit Card? Or Vanilla Credit Card? I am planning to try Entropay, but not sure if it works. Have you tested yet?

Also, they asked me to put a bank card or credit card to confirm my location , but not phone number..... Is it after I put the card?

jesseinkaron · #12 08-28-2010

From what I understand , in order to confirm your location .. you need to add a credit card first , then proceed to phone verification. I have been told the entropay will work , however you need to use a real credit card to get an entropay card , so that is not gonna work for me.

Are you sure an Entropay VCC works? From what I heard from rsot, you can make unlimited VCC once you opened your account. I am also limited from it. I can do it for you too (open you a card)

Also, how does the phone verification works? They give you a number on the phone? Or does paypal talk to you? :\

I just completed the "add credit card" step.
I used what is called a " AVS " Vcc .
It was a lot harder to find a seller with these kind of Vcc.
The credit card worked and I proceeded to phone verification.
I use a call forwarding service for the phone verification and this was a problem.
It was an automated call , they ask you to enter a 4 digit code .
Similar to the ebay phone verification , except with paypal .. you ONLY get 1 chance!
If you don't get it right the first time , they mail out a letter.
So now I got 700 bucks in a stealth account and a letter being mailed to a stealth account. I can look forward to spending that 700 bucks next year !

;O When they call you, they give you 4 digits? Is it right after you put the credit card?

jesseinkaron · #16 08-28-2010

after you add the card .. it goes to phone verification.
You see 4 digits on your computer screen , and they ask you to enter the 4 digit code when u get the call. I sugges using a home phone instead of a mobile phone.
You only get 1 chance at this .. and if it fails they send a letter.
The letter is useless if you used a stealth address!

laylaylay · #17 08-28-2010

I am currently using my real address. I assume they spell the digits in english? Just hope it's proper english. :P

Once it's resolved, does paypal need to review your account?

jesseinkaron · #18 08-29-2010

I wish I knew what happened when it was resolved !
Unfortunately for me , it was not resolved so I can't say.
Anyway .. you will see the digits likes this " 1234 "
You punch the keys on your phone.
If you are using your home phone it should be fine.

laylaylay · #19 08-29-2010

They spell it on the phone, and you write it on the site?

holymoly · #20 11-04-2010

No they SPEAK the numbers "4 digits" you have to enter...I have had this happen to a few accounts.

The main thing is to have a CALL FORWARD that works the FIRST TIME or you can say goodbye to the money for 180 days. YOU ONLY GET ONE CHANCE EVERYONE!!!!!

Beyond that, I "heard" you can bypass this with a Virtual Bank Account if you are Non-verified. If you are already VER, then you need to enter in a NEW VCC/CC or confirm the OLD, and receive the call from PP.

Just a quick question...has anyone verified via the "attach information" to verify address. I.e. water/electric/rent bill....

I tried this once and they SUSPENDED the account for 180.

moneyhungry · #21 11-18-2010

i get the call put the correct code in and they are still sending letters to that address. has anyone bypassed this with certain phone services? now one i did add a bank too and all the sudden 2 weeks later i got my limitation has been lifted...

happywheels1234 · #22 12-26-2010

I just confirmed my identity by doing the "confirm location" thing. but it still says waiting for your response. do they just need a couple of hours to change that or is there something else that I need to do?
