Can paypal close your account?

Well as I said in another post, I am planning to get a Virtual Credit Card. But after getting verified is there a risk of paypal to ban/close my account?

So is a Virtual Credit Card safe?

I think that PayPal keeps you as a customer no matter what as long as you don't do anything violates their terms. You might want to check on the agreement that you initialed with them when you joined up.

I would just advise you to get a Visa card.. or a big credit card... these VCC and Paypal is not worth all the hassle...

Think about it, if you use your own CC your always safe.. and you can't lose your money!

Yes I know that 'big credit cards' are always better but there are certain reasons why I can't get a normal cards, so i have to use a virtual one.

If you can't get an actual CC such as Visa, then yes VCC is the next best thing. Though I'd advise you to get a CC, just because it will be more benefical to you long term.

Well leaving the Visa and actual CC, is there a difference between VCC, for example this is better then that? or they are all the same for paypal?

If you have a VCC you might not be able to make a credit rate.. at the same time I don't think many big companies sell them.

I have used a virtual credit card to verify my PayPal account with no problems. But I don't know if this will happen to all vcc. I used a Portuguese vcc called mbnet. I think is is only available for Portuguese users.

Yes they are safe, in fact I at first verified myself with one, before i verified my account with my bank account.

I don't think a VCC is safe. I'd stick with PayPal but whether your account is verified or not, they still have the ability to close your account. They lock it if you have a dispute against you or if you don't follow their rules.
