Hi, I tried to connect my paypal account, but I am getting trouble to connect.

Please know that you need to use your own PayPal account. To use PayPal, you must make sure that your verified name on Upwork matches the name on your PayPal account.

I need help on this.

Thanks

If PayPal is telling you that your account is not verified, it could mean that there is an issue with the verification status of your account. Here are a few steps you can take to try and resolve the issue:

1. Double-check that the email from PayPal is legitimate. There are many phishing scams that try to trick you into giving up your personal information. Make sure the email you received is really from PayPal by looking at the sender's email address and checking for any red flags, such as misspellings or suspicious links.

2. Log in to your PayPal account and check your account settings to see if there are any issues with your account. Look for any notifications or alerts that may indicate a problem with your account verification status.

3. Contact PayPal customer service for assistance. You can contact PayPal customer service via phone, email, or live chat to get help with any account issues. They will be able to provide you with more information about why your account is not verified and how to resolve the issue.

4. Make sure your card is linked to your PayPal account and that it is verified. If your card is not verified, PayPal may not recognize it as a valid payment method.

5. If all else fails, you may need to create a new PayPal account with a different email address and link your card to that account.

Overall, it's important to remember that PayPal takes account security very seriously. If there is an issue with your account verification status, it may take some time to resolve, but it's worth taking the time to ensure that your account is secure and that your personal information is protected.

I'm having the same problem. I've used Paypal for years, and all my cards are verified, and they still tell me: "We are sorry but we cannot setup PayPal as your payment method because it is not verified . Please verify your PayPal account or add a payment card.", When in fact all my payment methods are verified.
