I just noticed that I am verified.  I wasn't verified before because I was in Canada.  When did this happen?

I also got lazy with money orders, but then Paypal was killing my credit card, and then they figured how to rig Canadian bank accounts to pay.  Now things are much better.  :)


What do you mean they "figured how to rig Canadian bank accounts to pay." ?   Can you link your bank account to paypal like what you did with your credit card to pay people and stores online?

Shortly after the 02 Con, I bought a Mint in Bag Crimson Strike Team set from a guy in the USA. I paid by PayPal. I never got  my item. (he said he was sending expresspost) After 3 weeks (before the 30 day deadline) I contacted PayPal to have the charges reversed as they seller was not responding to my emails questioning where my set was. After much difficulty getting an answer out of Paypal, they basically told me "too bad so sad" because it was an "international transaction" and they don't/can't track "international transactions"

So, I was out the $200 US plus Paypal fees.

So, I tried to close my account. Do you know how HARD it is to have them close you account? My goodness, I've done server migrations with less headaches!

I will never EVER deal with them again.

I remember getting e-mail from them a few months ago about me being verified. Whatever. I had no problem over ebay when I was unverified.

Not even in a million years will I open or read an email that is suppose to be from paypal.  To many fraud stories out there, including the email.

Actually, there were a couple of sellers that wouldn't sell on ebay to me because I was unverified.  There loss.

When using ebay.com, Canadian sellers are verified with American buyers and vise visa.  When using ebay.ca, Canadian buyers and sellers are verified with each other while still keeping verified with American sellers and buyers.  Ask me why this is so...I don't have a clue.

I double-checked my account and it says I'm verified on my name, but my address is still unconfirmed. What is a Canuck to do? Offer some  :timbits: to Paypal to confirm my address?
