How to verify Paypal for free (us only maybe)

[advantage]

Not sure if this method is still working, I don't really see a reason for it not to be. I am using them legitimately to test it out.

I created a netspend account, received the card in the mail. And verified both of the deposits that PayPal made into my Netspend account. The deposits were quick to arrive for me, took about 2 days.

Once my PayPal was verified I transferred $500.00 from PayPal to my Netspend card, the funds haven't arrived yet and it's been 4 days. Normally with my Bank account it's 2-3 so I'm hoping Netspend is just a little slower but actually works. On PayPal it says the transfer has been completed which is usually a good sign, now I'm just waiting on Netspend to actually put the money into my account so I can take it out of an ATM.

I will update if I receive the money and this method is working, I really don't see a reason for it not to. My PayPal account is verified and NOT limited. And my Netspend account isn't limited and is fully verified with all my real information.

UPDATE:

I can now confirm that you CANNOT use netspend as an online bank account. For instance if you have money in PayPal and try to transfer it to the card it will be DENIED.

However if your sole purpose is to get a PayPal account verified you can add a netspend card, PayPal will make the deposits and you should be ok. But when you try to transfer it will be DENIED and PayPal will remove the card from your account saying something about how you accept the policy.

"
On Jun. 6, 2009, we attempted to transfer $500.00 USD from your bank account, ending in 9638. This transfer was returned by your bank on Jun. 11, 2009 for the reason below:

This is an invalid bank account number.


As a result, this bank account has been disabled from your PayPal account. Please contact your bank for more information or add a new bank account. Please do not contact PayPal because this is entirely an issue between the account holder and their bank."

Funny how that works since it was the exact same information that I received the deposits with, in fact with PayPal you don't have to even re-type the information as it's saved to your account!

Oh well, just wanted to warn people planning on using this instead of a bank account not to!

This isn't working for me. I'm just try to verify a paypal to use legitly. Tried twice, both times got an email saying

"The funds in your bank account are not available for transfer. Please
contact your bank for further information."

Was never able to receive the funds to verify the account
