So paypal help?
I want to put in my $50 vanilla gift card to my paypal which I already did but it's not appearing on my balances. Does it take business days for it to go to my account or do I need to verify my paypal acc? I didn't verify my acc since it kept asking me for my bank cheque but it's not accepting the numbers from my cheque for some reason. So if anyone that uses paypal could help me would be most appreciated.

I've never had to wait, I just add my card and immediately buy whatever I need

[quote=Sprouts]Sorry I don't follow. Do you mean that it never shows up to my balance but I can still make transactions and gift people right?[/quote]
I phrased it really poorly, sorry
That's exactly what it means.
[quote=Ecyz]I used Paypal with Vanilla cards for a while. It will never convert the balance to your Paypal account. You are still free to buy stuff as long as your card is connected to your account.
You can add funds from your bank account to your paypal wallet, but not from a credit card to your paypal wallet. Like I said though, this doesn't matter and you'll still be free to purchase things through paypal.[/quote]

@HailShad: Okay thanks a lot for the help.
@HailShad: Right thanks but to clarify I should still be able to make transactions even if I don't link my bank account right?
@HailShad: It was this morning. So I'm guessing it'll take business day delays for it to appear?
[quote=HailShad]The best thing you could do is call their support hotline and verify the rest of your info. When I did it they required an ID at least to verify your account. Also make them check the gift card while you're on the phone.[/quote]
From what I heard you don't really need to link your bank account to your paypal one to do transactions right? I verified my from my email but my credit balance isn't appearing. Is there a delay for it to show up? However when I go to edit my credit card it shows complete verification and when i click it it sends me to the bank account linking page. Sorry for my noobness I never used paypal before.
