Dear George Slezak,
Thank you for contacting PayPal.
When you add a credit or debit card to your account, it may be necessary to
complete the Expanded Use Enrollment Process before you are able to use
this card. This will increase the overall security of the system.
Below are detailed instructions to assist you in completing the process.
To complete the Expanded Use Enrollment Process of a registered credit or
debit card you will first need to view the 'Credit Card' page. To view the
credit card page, please follow these directions:
1. Log in to your account at https://www.paypal.com/
by entering your
email address and password into the Member Log In box.
2. Click the 'Profile' tab.
3. Click the 'Credit Cards' link in the 'Financial
Information' column.
If the status of the card is 'Expanded Use Number Needed', you either need
to initiate the Expanded Use Enrollment Process or enter the Expanded Use
Number. Please follow the instructions listed below to complete the
Expanded Use Enrollment Process:
1. Select the credit card of which you would like to complete
the
Expanded Use Enrollment Process.
2. Click 'Complete Expanded Use Enrollment'.
If you receive the 'Enter Expanded Use Number' page, please enter your
4-digit Expanded Use Number and click Submit.
If you have not initiated the Expanded Use Enrollment Process, you will
receive the 'Enroll in PayPal's Expanded Use Program' page. Please read the
'Enroll in PayPal's Expanded Use Program' page and click 'Get Number.' On
the 'Expanded Use Number Sent' page, click Continue.
To complete this process, PayPal will charge your credit or debit card
$1.95 U.S. Dollars. The charge will accompany a unique, randomly generated
4-digit Expanded Use Number.
· If you have online access to your credit or debit
card activity, it
takes approximately 2-4 business days for the Expanded Use Number to
appear, depending on the cards issuing bank
· If you do not have online access, you must wait
until you receive
your statement in the mail to check your 4-digit Expanded Use Number
· If you have added a debit card, your 4-digit
Expanded Use Number
will be printed on your bank statement next to the $1.95 charge
Once you have received your 4-digit Expanded Use Number:
1. Log in to your account at https://www.paypal.com/
by entering your
email address and password into the Member Log In box.
2. Click 'Complete Expanded Use Enrollment' in Activate
Account Box on
the Overview page.
3. Enter the 4-digit Expanded Use Number in the box provided.
If there
is more than one credit card listed, you must choose the credit card by
using the pull-down menu.
4. Select the credit card of which you would like to complete
the
Expanded Use Enrollment Process.
5. Click 'Submit'.
Please Note:
· Expanded Use Fees will be credited to your PayPal
account as a
bonus. Please note that the $1.95 bonus will be credited to your PayPal
account balance within 24 hours of successfully sending a completed payment
using the credit or debit card that completed the Expanded Use Enrollment
Process
· PayPal strongly discourages users from calling their
credit card
companies in order to obtain PayPal Expanded Use Number before receiving
their monthly statement in the mail. If PayPal receives a complaint from
your card issuer regarding a phone call to your credit card company to
obtain the PayPal Expanded Use Number, your PayPal account may be
permanently closed
· Completing the Expanded Use Enrollment Process will
allow you to use
the credit or debit card in the PayPal system, however it will not always
confirm the billing address. If your address is not confirmed, PayPal
recommends adding another card. If your billing address passes our
verification system, your address will be automatically confirmed.
· Due to Visa regulations, it is not possible to go
through the
Expanded Use Enrollment Process with more than one Visa card per PayPal
account
If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us again.
