Dear All,

I have created a new account with paypal to transfer money from it to a bank account in UK. Is it necessary to get "Verified" at Paypal to do this electronically?

Thank you all in advance

There is a one-time 'upgrade' fee Jan 1, 2005

deducted from the first transfer. After that, there is a minimum transaction fee. For other currencies, your bank may charge an exchange commission.

Verification is provided by the bank that issued you the credit card.

Hence, the longer you use your paypal account, the more profitable it will be. I have found it a reasonable way to collect amounts of between 300 and 3000 USD, in which the other option would be to accept a cheque negotiated internationally.

Uhhhhh???? Jan 1, 2005

I don't know if Parrot understood your question (forgive me little parrot) but I have recently verified my paypal account with my UK bank account and as far as I understand it this will allow me to transfer funds from my bank account to my paypal account. Parrot is talking about what happens when you get some money sent to your paypal account which is completely the opposite....please correct me if I am wrong.

The verification process is quite straightforward...they transfer two little amounts of money to your bank account and then you have to report back those amounts so that they can confirm this is your bank account and from them on you are verified.
Good luck.

But what I need to ask really, is the verification necessar to be able to transfer funds fron my paypal account to my bank account? I am going to receive an amount of money in my Paypal account, can I transfer this account to my bank account in the UK without being verified?

Thank you all for your help

Regards
Tamara

The straight answer is no, Tamara, you need to have your account verified to do that (as far as I know), and I'd advice you to do so anyway. The following times the process is really simple to transfer the money from the PayPal account to the Bank account because they already have your account number verified. I haven't been using it for long, but I'm happy with it, as soon as I receive money in the PP account I transfer it, it's free and my wallet is always empty (no risk).

Good luck

Claudia

If I understand well, Jan 2, 2005

anyone can transfer money from Paypal to his bank in any country.

I thought you could only transfer money to an American bank?

UK or US Paypal account Jan 2, 2005

That also called my attention, Chance. I thought that in order to transfer funds from a bank account to a paypal account the two accounts need to be in the same country.

You're right Jan 2, 2005

I didn't remember that.

Users in any country may withdraw funds to a U.S. bank account.
Users in these countries cannot withdraw funds to their local bank accounts. ... See more

There are 45 countries in which it works.

I read the conditions now again and I find them much more clear than some time ago, when I had read them for the first time.

When I had tried at first the bank account had to be in the same country where the person lived, something has changed.

I managed to open an account in Miami and gave an address in the US (a P.O. Box), and it worked.

There are two groups of countries, those which have local offices and the others, UK has a local office, I would confirm with them that UK is in the same group of those that need a U.S. bank account.

To be VERIFIED or not to be... That is the question. Jan 4, 2005

Hi Tamara,
My long experience as a PayPal member indicates that you DON'T have to be verified as long as you only receive and withdraw funds from your PayPal account to your bank account.
On the other hand, yo DO have to be verified if you will use your credit card or debit card, or e-Check as well.
That's all.
Regards,
Tadzio.

Hi Natalia Mar 29, 2005

You need to check with the banks of your country which one would allow to open an account in dollars or which one has an agreement with a US bank that allows you to open an account in the US.
Not all the countries allow that, and if it's not allowed in Uruguay you won't be able to do it.
