You need to verify your account to be allowed to pay for your orders via PayPal system. Verification authenticates a member's identity, increases the security of transactions and raises account sending limits. Getting verified is easy, quite fast and free of charge.
As an example, let's have a look at the bank card verification procedure.

1. Log in to your PayPal account.

2. Click the Wallet icon on the top panel.

3. To add a bank card, click + Link a card.

4. To link your bank card, you need to fill in the following fields:

Card type – choose your card type;
Card number – enter your card number (16 digits);
Expiry MM/YY – enter your card expiration date. This information can be found on the front of your card;
CSC (3 digits) – enter 3 digits located on the back of your card;
Select a billing address – enter the billing address. It must exactly match the one on your card statement.

Click the Save button. After information has been verified, PayPal will make a small charge to your card (approximately 1.95 USD) as a payment for verification.

5. Log in to your internet banking or contact your bank. Look for a 4-digit PayPal code in your card statement. This is a one-time code used to confirm the payment. If you are signed up for SMS banking you will receive this code in a text message to your cellphone.

6. Go to your PayPal account again and click the Wallet icon.
