I'm not sure about it but their e-mail always include a consumer advisory and it is stated there that the holder of PayPal’s stored value
facility, does not require the approval of the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

Paypal is a US based company and so it's main support system is based in US too. They have not outsourced the support to anyone.

well. if paypal can deduct money from the creditcard account and refund to the paypal account. that means both the creditcard account and paypal account belong to the same person. so this paypal account can be verified .

The reasons of charging the amount into your card of course is to verify your account, if the credit cards is not belong to yours, you will receives a special pin with the credit card statement on the paypal transaction, so, after you key in valid pin, your account is verified then paypal pay you back the money. Paypal is not going to earn any cents from the verification process.

I know that anything can happen if account is not verified.If it is verified then if something scam happens with your account then paypal has your information and i am not against it but my point is they should accept debit card to verify card at least in India they do not accept debit card and it is difficult to get credit card.
