Adding a credit card

When you add a credit card to your account two things happen. First you can start paying from your credir card if your Paypal account hasn't sufficient funds, and your account becames "verified".

Verified versus non-verified accounts

By default accounts are "non-verified". If you add an credit card to your "non-verified" account this changes to "verified" and the transfer limits are raised.
