3. On the next page, fill out the form with your personal information like name and address. You can also link your credit card to your account with Paypal on this page. If you opt to skip that process, when you click on the “Agree and Create Account” button at the bottom of the page, it will still create your Paypal login. Then, on the next page it will give you another chance to input your credit card information. You can skip this by clicking on “Go to Myaccount” on the bottom left of that box on the page.
Note that Paypal asks for the credit card information to verify your account with Paypal. As explained, this can be done during account signup or later on after you’ve explored your Paypal account page. Read on to know more about Paypal account verification.

How to Verify Your Paypal Account
Verifying your account with Paypal is important in lifting withdrawal limits on your account. You can receive funds to your Paypal account even when it’s not verified, but you would not be able to withdraw them. There are two ways to get the account verification process started. The first one is by entering your credit card information at the signup page. The second one is by logging in to your Paypal account and clicking on “Unverified.”
In the second process, you will be asked to enter your credit card information: Name on the card, address and card verification number.
Make sure that the name and address you registered with your Paypal account login matches the name on the card and the billing address for your card. The card verification number is usually a 3-digit code on the card itself. The location of this number can vary from one card company to another.
After entering your card information, Paypal will make a verification charge on your credit card account of about P 150.00. Make sure you have at least P 200.00 if you’re using a debit card. Paypal returns the amount after the account verification is successful. (This amount is for people creating the Paypal account in the Philippines. If you're not from the Philippines, check on Paypal's website for the amount in your currency.)
The next step would involve getting a code that was generated from that transaction. The code is called the Expanded Use number (EXPUSE). You can check it on the online transaction log of your credit card to get this. It will be a 4-digit code in the Paypal account transaction description and it will look appear like this: VISA-PP*XXXXCODE SG(608), where XXXX is the 4-digit EXPUSE code. If your credit card does not allow you to view transactions online, you have to call the customer service department of you credit card provider and ask them for the code from the Paypal account transaction. You may also just wait for the monthly statement of account you get for your credit card transactions to acquire this information.
Once you have the EXPUSE code, you can enter it into the designated field on your Paypal account verification page, and voila! You have now verified your Paypal account!
