I just had verified my Philippine PayPal account today. Yipee!
I’m a member since June last year, but it was only today it got verified since I didn’t really have a debit/credit card. None until I got my EON debit card from UnionBank.
I applied for an EON Card last October 7 in UnionBank’s branch located in Diliman Commercial Center. The branch is just under Convergys Commonwealth. I just signed up the application form and submitted photocopies of my Passport, and Postal ID. I also had to show them my ID’s to verify if they were real. Gee…
Then, I got my card after almost a month, last November 6. When I got the EON card, I paid the Php 350.00 annual fee, but did not push through on depositing fund to the card since it would take two days before the card would get activated. I think others immediately deposit money after they get their card, but I opted not to.
While waiting for my card to get activated, I decided to enroll it for an EON cyber account, but I still couldn’t log-in since my card is not yet activated. I was just excited you know.
But just right after I checked my EON card at the ATM yesterday, I was able to log-in as well to my EON cyber account when I got home. So today, I decided to deposit Php800 to my EON card, so I could verify my PayPal account. I just followed the steps in PayPal and get the PayPal code from my EON cyber account transaction records. PayPal deducted $1.95 USD (or Php96.79 and Php1.00) from my EON account. Then in just a few minutes my PayPal got verified. Yehey.
I just wonder now though how I can add funds. I still have to figure that out. =(

UPDATE: I had just clicked the link to make my PayPal account a Premier account, I thought i have to pay for the upgrade so I just continued clicking, without noticing I didn’t have to pay, but just activate the Premier account. So, since I realized it is already a Premier PayPal account instead of the Personal one, I decided to close the account and create a new one. I don’t want to be charge when people send money to me unless, there are really people sending money to me through their credit card. The only thing here, is I wasted $2, I should have waited for it to be refunded before I closed the account. Oh well….
