What are verified PayPal accounts?
These are your only two options. Checkout tools typically provide these, but there are a few services where you can find them.
Paypal’s own or Google Authenticator. This is an online system that uses your card number as the password. Some sites may also ask you to verify an email address and a phone number (see below), but I’m not a big fan of the system. It’s an automated system, and you’ll often have to sign up for an account on each site where you’d like to use it. It’s easy to get card numbers stolen, and you never have to verify anything.
Google Authenticator, which you get to with a QR code for payment. You can make a lot of purchases with this, but it’s a little more cumbersome to set up.
With a larger list of services, you can use SMS as a method of verification.
Credit card
If you prefer to use a credit card, don’t fret. In all likelihood, you have your credit card number memorized. You can use it to make payments to sites that accept this method of payment.
For example, the eBay default checkout option is a Mastercard. I had no trouble using a credit card.
How to buy verified PayPal accounts:
Step 1
Make sure you’re using the proper URL to purchase a verified PayPal account. This may vary from website to website. Go to the URL that appears in the Paypal account box, and that’s the address for the verified account.
You have a few options here. You can do it manually, or you can click on the green button for “Manage your preferences” and input your email address.
Enter your email address
Enter your credit card number
Enter your verification code
Enter your username
Click Submit
It’ll take a few minutes for PayPal to verify your email, and you’ll see a confirmation email within a few minutes. Click on the confirmation link in the email.
Now you can select the PayPal button to purchase a verified account.
Step 2
If your verification is accepted, PayPal will take you to another page where you can enter the payment details. If you haven’t already, input your card number. Your credit card number is always good if you have it memorized. If you enter the number manually, it may have been compromised. Use your credit card, rather than debit.
If you’re just using the Paypal button, you’ll have to input your address and phone number.
Enter your address
Enter your mobile number
If you don’t already have a mobile number, PayPal will send you a text with a code. Enter the code from your text, and your information is validated.
Click on the button for “Get started”
Click on the green button for “Create a PayPal account”
Select the type of account you’d like to create
Provide the details for your accounts, such as your username, password, and verification code.
Step 3
PayPal asks you to click a button that says “Login with email”. If you’re already logged in, select “Continue”. If you’re not already logged in, then you have to log in.
Choose the email you used to set up the account.
Enter your password
Enter your verification code
Click Log In
Be sure to click on the confirmation button.
Click on the green button for “Pay with PayPal”
Step 4
Paypal will ask you to enter the payment details.
Enter your card number
Enter your verification code
Enter your username
Enter your phone number
Click Submit
You’re done.
You will have to click on the confirmation button, enter your password, and click on the green button for “Pay with PayPal”.
Step 5
PayPal will show you an address where you can pick up your merchandise.
Tip: Make sure your PayPal account is as secure as possible. Secure payment requires a 2-step verification process, such as an app on your mobile device or a code you enter after inputting your PayPal information.
Benefits of buying verified paypal accounts:
Stripe is a payment processor that’s similar to PayPal. Since it’s the default payment option, many users choose to use Stripe.
In my opinion, Stripe isn’t as easy to use, and I haven’t used it much. However, I have read numerous reviews and they are overwhelmingly positive. So, I know that it’s worth a try if you can’t find a secure alternative.
Safeguards for buying verified PayPal accounts
With the features I’ve listed above, it’s highly unlikely that I’ll get a hacked PayPal account. However, the risks are still very real.
I’ve found that there are several security precautions you can take to reduce your chances of being hacked. I’ve shared the best security precautions here.
Protect Yourself
Be sure to use unique passwords that are complex and cannot easily be guessed. This is especially important if you share your passwords on social media accounts.
Keep your personal information secure with two-factor authentication (2FA).
Only use HTTPS connections for payment processing. This will secure your transactions, as they will take place in a secure environment.
Be careful what you write in emails. Anything you include in an email that could identify you is considered insecure, which can lead to hacks.
Final Thoughts:
Buying a verified Paypal account is a very good idea. Even if you haven’t tried it before, I think you’ll enjoy the features I’ve highlighted.
Furthermore, you have to consider the security risks. If you follow the steps above, you’ll have a safer and more secure account than those that are vulnerable to hacks.
Wrap Up
Being able to shop online using PayPal is awesome! There’s no denying it. However, it’s not without its risks.
Since security is paramount to your purchase, you have to be diligent about protecting your account, and your purchases. If you follow the steps above, then you have nothing to worry about.
