quick question on paypal/games

shadowcreaper · 27 Dec 2011 at 13:31

Ok so bassically my paypal account went FOBAR and i had to make a new account :mad:

I pretty anoyed as i entered my game code thinking i could subcribe and get into SWTOR but now all that is happening is my game time running out while i sit here

Question is this:

I have my paypal account up but i am waiting for paypal to send me the two random small amounts into my bank account so that i can confirm my bank account ect ie "getting verified"

They said they sent these two amounts on the 21stDEC but still havnt showed up in my bank account(christmass i know)

So atm i am "unverified", my question is:Can i still use my paypal account to Subcribe to SWTOR or is this impossible untill i am verified?

i ask as i getting tired of waiting for these two amounts and all this waiting around is costing a lot of game time lol.

please help...

Give it a go, if it works, great, if not then just wait until the account is verified. I know your pain, when I verified my account years ago it took a few days to do. As its christmas, you've got it worse.

My main concern is that without any money in my Paypal account as such it might get screwed up or something.

I might give it ago and hopefully being unverified it will still let me subscribe to SWTOR using paypal,

whats the worse that can happen? .....please let me know if there is something bad

Nope, verified is just something you have to do. You should still be able to pay for things in the normal way. Its just an anti money laundering thing to ensure that the bank accoutn and the account details match.

It will work, or not work instantly.

It does tell you somewhere if you are verified or not. Cannot remember where!

im not verified i know that for sure as i have yet to get the two random amounts from paypal even though they say they sent them,

My main question was if i can still buy things even though i not verified, and if so, how do i know if paypal is connected to my bank.

either way i going to try now and subscribe to SWTOR using my paypal and il let you know what happends, wish me luck.

You should still be able to pay with credit / debit card.
