I have exhausted my PayPal withdrawal limits. Do these limits expire or are eternal? Best regards, AT

| Account verification | Mar 11, 2010 |
You don't need to have a USA / Europe bank account in order to verify your Paypal account. I used my credit card number (my credit card is linked to a Chilean bank account) to verfy mine and lift the withdrawal limit.
Go to "Help" and type "Verify account" to find the instructions.

| Not a perfect process | Mar 11, 2010 |
Just to warn people -- don't leave Paypal's "verification" processes to the last minute, because they're far from perfect.
In two cases I know, mine and my partner's, in one case, at credit card verification, the site said that they were unable to charge the card, yet the card got charged (with a corresponding call to use from the credit card's fraud department...), and in the other, it took several *weeks* for a letter to arrive from Paypal with a verification code needed to unlock...

(In the EU at least, there seems to be some silly extra verification process you have to go through after you've transferred so much money with your account-- and Paypal effectively freeze your account while this is going on-- don't know if this applies outside of Europe.) ▲ Collapse

Thanks for that info, Neil. It seems that I was lucky, since I didn't have any problems, but it's always a good thing to be forewarned.

MODERATOR | Post-verification limits | Mar 11, 2010 |
Limits apply even if you do verify your account, at least for us in Uruguay.
However, post-verification limits are higher.
Or does someone know of a way to eliminate these limits for South America?
Thanks
Laureana

| PayPal Verification procedures | Apr 10, 2010 |
PayPal rules say they can perform an alternative process for the verification of accounts of people that don't have american based Credit or Debit Cards, which is my case.
Has anyone had any experience with an alternative process, how long it might take, and what it entails?
Another thing:
If I can't send money due to the limit, how long have i got to wait before i can start sending money again? Any experience out there?

According to my experience, once you get to the limit (USD 500) you cannot transfer any money. This limit does not expire. Regards, AT

How about withdrawing funds. The only option for us low class countries (non-US countries as a matter of fact) is receiving a cheque if we don't have a credit card.
In the Withdrawal section of PayPal (Withdrawal with a cheque) the information displayed is one's name, one's address and the amount to withdraw (with a limit of course), but there is no information of one's Bank, because one can't register one's Bank if it is not a US Bank.

Then, why is there a phrase at the end of the section that says: "Los cheques enviados a bancos fuera de EE.UU. sólo se pueden depositar. Deben ingresarse en la cuenta bancaria registrada con el mismo nombre que aparece como Beneficiario del cheque. "
Has anyone received a cheque? Does it get to your home address? How does it get to your home address, snail mail, registered mail, courier? I have the feeling this isn't legal in some countries: sending cheques through the mail. ▲ Collapse
