In order to protect the integrity of our platform, we require a confirmation that your PayPal account status is 'Verified'. To verify your PayPal account you must log in, and confirm that your account status is 'Verified'.

PayPal follows a specific process to verify accounts by asking for documentation such as bank accounts, or credit card statements. If your account is not verified, you will see it as an "Unverified" status. You can easily change your status to "Verified" by following these steps:

Step 1: Log into your PayPal account. In order to verify your PayPal account in the US, you will need to enter a valid bank account. Sign in to your account, if you are not already 'verified', click the 'Get Verified Link' on the top left of the page.

Step 3: Select whether you would like to verify your account by connecting your bank account or a credit/debit card to PayPal.

Once you have you have completed these steps you are Verified. If your account has already been 'Verified', your account status is located below your name.
