they will make two small deposits to your account each for less than a dollar.  you then have to get a bank statement or call the bank to find out how much each was for.  you log back in to paypal and enter the amounts to verify your account.  it is just to make sure that you are a real person with a real account with real access to it.\n after you are verified, to use paypall you will have to transfer an amount to paypal from your checking before you can use paypal online for purchases.

According to PayPal:  "When you confirm your U.S. bank account, your Sending Limit is lifted. The amount of money you send through your PayPal account will not be subject to Sending Limits although the maximum dollar amount for any single transaction is $10,000.00 USD or the equivalent thereof."\n\nConfirming your bank account is very simple.  You just give PayPal your routing and account numbers.  They make two "microdeposits" into your bank account.  For example, they will deposit $0.17 and $0.05.  It will take about two days for it to show up in your account.  When the deposits are in your account, you just confirm your account by telling PayPal what the two amounts are.  They know that it is your account since you have access to the amounts.\n\nI would highly recommend confirming your bank account if you are a merchant.  As a customer, I would not send money to a non-confirmed merchant.\n\nYou still have the ability to use your credit and debit cards on PayPal.  But after you confirm your account, you also have the ability to send immediate payments from your checking or savings account.

I'm an online merchant.  I have 2 merchant accounts plus PayPal, and I'm also a Google customer. When they announced Checkout, I went ahead and signed up for it, put the code on my site etc. Since then I've had dozens of transactions via credit card or PayPal, but not 1 via Google.  So, why should I bother putting it on my next site?

Okay I just got a letter yesterday myself.   You said the check is real, did you cash yours??  Is it a scam?  \n\nUPDATE: I am having a friend of mine that works in a bank check into this, they will let me know if its a genuine cashable check.  My concern is that we will all cash these checks and then they are able to trace our account info.  I called the number and the same thing happened to me.  A pre-recorded message came on and told me to leave a name and number after the tone but no tone.\n\nUPDATE #2:  Its a fraud.  I'm not exactly sure how they make out in this, but the check is not valid.  The account number and bank name are correct but the routing number is wrong.  I was asked to forward mine to the fraud department at Chase.

If this is a copy of an email they sent you, it's a scam. The way it works:\n-You get a paypal or check payment from XYZ customer\n-You deposit in your bank\n-You sent 92% to ExFinancial company and keep 8%\n-A few weeks go by, then you get a notice from your bank that the deposit you made got a stop-payment, fraud charge-back, or similar\n-The bank takes 100% of the "payment" out of your account\n-You try and get the money back from ExFinancial and, big surprise, they've faded into the night... along with your money!\n\nThink about it this way... first, if they're a big company, don't you think they would have their own processing people and bank accounts? They could process the payments through their own bank and not have to pay anyone 8%.  Plus, they don't know you at all. What's stopping you from taking the payment checks, putting them in the bank, and never sending any money to the company?\n\nDon't fall for it!

Sounds like spam to me. Word to the wise.... anything that is too good to be true or makes it super easy to get money is a scam. Don't fall for it.\n\nPaypal is real, I use it to make ebay payments all the time. But this program is just like the letters you receive in the mail from the "retired lawyers" wanting you to send $1 to everyone on the mailing list. Don't do it, you're too smart for that!

You will need to sign-up with PayPal.  You will have to provide your bank account information and select the plan that you want to use based on the commerce type (for profit, non-profit).  At the end of the process, PayPal will provide code to put into the site to handle the payment processing.\n\nYou should also consider Google Checkout.  With Google Checkout, users will not have to leave your site to complete payment.\n\nGood luck.

Don't fill out any email forms where they ask you to update your info.  That is probably a scam.  Go to paypal.com directly to do any type of business with paypal.  Do not even type your password in an email form or on a page that looks like paypal, but you got to through an email.  \n\nGo directly to the site, go to "My account", there is an option to "close account".  You will have to confirm your info there.  As long as you do it in this way, it should work.\n\nHope that helps.

I accept payments for mystery shopping each month. There are no fees to receive this money if it is a personal paypal account.\n\nYou can link your bank account to your paypal account. This is very simple. On the paypal site you click the link to add an account. Enter your account info. Paypal makes two small deposits to the account. Once the deposits were made, go back into paypal and verify the amounts of the deposits. Once this is done, you can transfer money to the account under the withdraw tab on the paypal homepage.

I'd like to show you my PayPal account but I think it would be against the TOS. There are many people making money online today. It's best to do some research first on Internet Marketing forums such as the Warrior Forum. The top marketers hang out there and you can get free advice and information on anything to do with Internet Marketing today.

80 companies? Are you talking about affiliate programs? If so, most of these won't send your check till your earnings have reached a certain amount. Check the agreements you signed. These companies will often not send your first check till you push them a little. After that they seem to be a little more forth coming. I guess their philosophy is....you may even forget you added them as an affiliate and if you don't ask for your money.....well hey, free advertising. So.......read the agreements, contact them and ASK for your money. Affiliate programs take a lot of work. You have to stay current and keep checks on your earnings, etc.

I'd go with PayPal. A question may arise however... do you have a debit card with your checking account, that works as a Visa or MasterCard? It's been a while since I went through the verification process, but I think they want you to enter one to verify your street address is valid.\n\nThat said, once you're in, you can apply for the PayPal debit card, which functions just like a MasterCard.\n\nIf there is a chance that you will want to do anything money-related online, I would sign up for the Business account. This way if you ever want your own website, or perhaps become an eBay seller, then people don't have to have PayPal accounts to pay you, they can use any of the "Big Four" credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover)\n\nAn added bonus: If you sell at least 2 items per week on eBay, you will get cash-back bonuses on all your PayPal debit card purchases.\n\nBonus 2: Any funds in your PayPal account will earn Money Market interest rates.
