Being a new virtual Assistant. I have to be familiarized my self with Paypal. This is the most common payment method of a work at home Job. My first ever payment for my first part time job as virtual assistant was thru Paypal. To be available for your account to be verified you have to have a credit card, debit card or bank account that recognized Paypal. You can still used and transact with paypal even you haven't verify your account yet the consequence are you won't be available to withdraw your money from Paypal.
For my first try, i'm receiving transaction failed message on my cellphone. I don't know why?. So i asked the smart money customer hotline. Then i found out that When your account is inactive for almost 6 months your account will be dormant and need for request for activation. I will post how to did i activate my smart money dormant account.
