Slightly Off Topic regarding eBay account
I have recently been receiving emails stating that I am close to reaching my "spending limit" on my PayPal account, and that I will need to get my account "verified" in order to continue to use PayPal.
Has anyone else received a similar email? My understanding is that I would need to link my PayPal account to my bank account which would then "verify" my account. My account has been used strictly for purchases, and I have never sold anything via eBay. Any suggestions/advice since I don't plan on linking to my bank account? Thanks in advance, Patrick |

Never respond to any of the eBay or Paypal emails as the majority are bogus and hoping
that you give them your log in info. All of eBay & Paypal's info can be taken off their sight directly and you can respond there knowing that it is safe to do so. |

Paypal
Yes - if you haven't deleted already, forward that email to "spoof@paypal.com" - they can confirm if it was sent by them or bogus.

Agree with the advice to be wary of e-mails emanating from EBay and PayPal, and certainly not to respond directly but rather you should read and respond via their websites.
In this case the PayPal verification message may be legit -- I received one as well as using my account for a short while. Apparently they'll only allow you to spend a certain dollar amount (depends on your account type) without having a bank account linked to them. Can't say I understand why. I too didn't want to link up, but ultimately had to give in in order to keep using them. So far haven't had any issues.

I laugh at the pay pal emails
Because; I do not have a pay pal account ---- be kind of humorous to give someone else's email information

You will have to link your bank account if you want to continue paying for anything with PayPal. You can just log into your paypal account and do it that way, no need to answer the email. If you don't want to link up, you will have to use alternate payment methods.

Credit card: You can link your account to a credit card and pay for as much as you want. I have never had my account linked to a bank account. This of course only works if you plan on only using PP as a buyer.

Email regarding verifying account
My PayPal account has always been linked to a credit card. Since I never have sold anything I see know reason to tie it to my bank account.
This may be the end to my eBay purchasing since I will refuse to link to my bank account. Patrick |
