I am an Indian citizen and residing in India. I am also a new seller on eBay India and presently ship only to domestic destinations. My PaisaPay account stands verified on the basis of my Debit Card issued by my bank in India.
Having met initial success, I wish to scale up operations to international selling. I have learnt that registering with PayPal would be possible only with a valid credit card. But I do not have a credit card and may not have one soon enough.
My married daughter who lives in U.S. offered help by saying that I use her card number for registering with PayPal. Her address registered with the credit card company is naturally a U.S. address whereas my address registered with eBay is in India. I sought clarification from eBay India staff who confirmed that I can register with PayPal by entering my daughter’s credit card details.
Even if I do this, the issues that bother me are:
During registration with PayPal, bank account details may need to be filled in. Which details do I fill in, of my bank account in India or of my daughter’s bank account in U.S.?
If I fill in my own bank account details, whether PayPal registration will succeed despite the bank account and credit card addresses being in different names and different countries?
If I fill in my daughter’s bank account details, whether PayPal registration will succeed despite my details and my bank account details comprising of addresses in India as per my eBay User ID, but my daughter’s credit card address being an address in U.S.? Even if PayPal registration succeeds, to which bank account will my PayPal balances be transferred, mine or my daughter’s?
Can someone with experience guide me in this matter?

Dear,
Please ask your bank to give a virtual credit card # if posible.
Otherwise also,this can be tackled in various manners.
Thanx,

Dear,
1.You may login from home page to change your country and other details including name and use your daughter's informations.But in that case you will have to write item location as India.
2.You can open an ID in your daughter's name.Have two PayPal accounts for 2 IDs.Sell from your ID and transfer money to the other PayPal ID.
I think you can think of your options that suits you and best is to start selling immediately with unverified PayPal.Other problems will be solved when you accumulate dollars.
Ebay India fees are low.Ebay US is costly.Other ebay sites are still costlier.I list in US for good visibility.
But you should always formulate your policies to suit changing policies of India and US.
Thanx,
Truly,
Amitava

Hi.
I think you are asking about verification.
Almost 0,because the amount you pay by cc is refunded to you.But please follow instructions carefully. Verification is serious business.
