i am thinking of joining MSFN Affiliate program, so i need a paypal account. but after i get my paypal up, i see

* Welcome, Lim Jiew Meng (iceangel89@gmail.com) edit profile

* Account Type: Personal

* Status: Singaporean - Unverified

and unverified means i need a credit card? if i don't then how? can i just use the $$ i generate to buy things? so i dont need to have a credit card? cos i am just 18 and have no credit card

and by the way, PayPal.com account will mean my name? or paypal login?

you PP account will be your email address

for me to become verified, PP added a few random cents to my bank acc i beleive, then i tell PP how much they added in, then i became verified.

if you receive money thru paypal then you can spend it. being verified is nice tho. people like to see that you are verified tho. since i am verified i dont even need money in my PP account, it will pull it right from my bank account.

I've heard that non-Americans have a harder time getting "Verified" status with PayPal. Sorry, but I don't know the ins and outs of it

i not too sure about giving bank account stuff over the net actually so thought maybe i dont need to be verified if i can just spend the money i have in paypal

1 question, about the paypay donate button, the PayPal Site says:

PayPal Donations is a low cost way for you to accept credit card and bank account donations. Integrate PayPal Donations with your website in a few easy steps

No up-front costs - you'll have the same low fee schedule used when you receive other PayPal payments

it means when people donate i need to pay? if thats the case, is it in percentage or what? don't really want to pay more than they donate!

If you setup a Paypal donation button on your site, the actual amount that goes into your paypal account will be slightly less than what the other people actually sent you. For example, I was sent $10 USD a while back through my website, but only $9.47 was put into my paypal account.

isnt that only with a CC tho?

ok, as long as the amount is not negitive its ok

what do u mean? by CC

It depends on how you've set it up. You can make the user pay the extra fee, or you can pay it out of what you get from them.

CC means Credit Card
