I'm not quite with you over this koster. I can't see how I could make a payment to a seller without the account having been verified by Paypal and as I understand it, they have to place the deposits into my account and wait for me to give them the figures before allowing transactions.
I've already added my credit card details to the Paypal account as this was the method I wanted to use to pay for the items. However, the deposit amounts still have to confirmed to Paypal before I can proceed with the transaction and those deposits have not been put into the account to date. Until they do this, I'm stuck.
I thought Paypal verification provided evidence that the bank account details belonged to the applicant as well as verifying the name and address.
