It helps give you legitimacy, not only with this type of business, but with ebay selling and purchasing. Assuming the ebay component is not important to you, from a trader perspective, having the verification gives you a bit of leverage in a dispute situation, and once you do it, you have withdrawal limits increased, you can move money to and from your checking account, etc. Anyone that would refuse to get Paypal verified in my opinion has something to hide.

There is no reason to refuse to get PayPal verified. It's just a time issue. People want to start making money immediately, not 3-5 days from now, which means that they want to start doing sites while they wait for PayPal verification. I've never lead off with O4M or ********** for just that reason--I generally don't know whether someone is PayPal verified or not, and having to wait for their first payment--or going red--is a terrible way to start the business. I've OFTEN had O4M 2nd or 3rd in my thread, because it's a great network, and by the time they green their 2nd site, they've had time to get PayPal verified.

I would just like to add that if you use online banking you can get paypal verified very quickly (within a day) using that process as opposed to the normal 3-5 day process. And if you pick up the phone and call paypal directly you can verify it rather quickly that way too. That has worked for a few of my referrals just recently.

There's a simple way to check if a user is paypal verified:

https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/we...eal-entry&pal=

Put in the user's paypal address after the equals sign. You must be logged in to Paypal for it work.

will it show also if a canadian user is verified? I could so far only find out if someone is verified, if they have a U.S. account.

to answer my own question...yes you can!

there are a few reasons though why someone doesn't want to be or cannot get paypal verified. like not having a bank account. But how would you get the money out than?? Hm..

Hello to the person from Chico from chuckwill from Magalia. I got it one time for a person not being paypal verafied but the person fixed it pretty qick.

Thanks for the information. I do not have referrals yet but it is good to be prepared and learn all I can.

Just to let you guys know- the last 3 referrals who were put on hold for not being paypal verified never got back to me, even after I PM them. And one of them even told me she WAS paypal verified! I think these people had something to hide or were trying to get me to pay them inbetween the green and the red. Luckily the site (moneybonanzas) has such fast account verification, that did not happen, or these people would be in lunch theft as we speak.

I used to pay whether they were paypal verified or not on green until I also got hit on **********. This one trader was put on hold for not being verified and never came back to change despite all my pms and emails.

If you think that asking for emails before hand is a shield, you are not entirely right. This person gave me an email account which was paypal verified but the one they used on ********** was not. I tried to give ********** their verified email account but that was not good enough for them and I ended up on the other side. (out of my 20 bucks). I know each site has its TOS that has to be followed but I felt like I was the only one left out here because I don't think the affiliates require users to be verified to pay the sites but there was no offer fraud or anything, I think it should be fair for the site to pay you after they get paid! Anyway bottom-line I'm like Ken, sites that require to be paypal verified go third on my list avoid the same scenario.

What are some half credit sites that don't? Hmmm...Maybe the half credit git r free site. I don't think they'll put them on hold.

Aside from that I can't make many suggestions because I don't use half credit sites.

How do we get GRF to do one referral cashouts- do you have to put in a support ticket?
