At the beginning of 2019, more than 267 million users were registered in the system. The platform supports 25 national currencies of the world and works in more than 200 countries.

Nuances of replenishment

On the official website of the organization paypal.com there is no detailed description of how to deposit funds into your account. The interface of the personal account is minimalistic, but unusual for Russian users, since the company is focused on American clients. ReplenishmentPayPalassociated with some features.:

1. Cash deposits are only available for private accounts.
2. RUR are used for enrollment in the Russian Federation.
3. You can only deposit money into your own wallet.
4. When entering cash, the system sets limits (15,000 rubles per operation and 40,000 rubles per month). Payment for goods and services, the amount of funds on the balance sheet is not limited.

Depending on the methods of replenishing PayPal, crediting is made instantly or over some time. If for a long time the money is not credited to the account balance in the system, you should contact the technical support of the organization.

Deposit Methods

Before you figure out how to replenish the main account on the PayPal platform, you need to register a personal account, specifying a login and a security code, confirm the user's email address, and attach a credit card. Instead of the wallet number for mutual settlements on the Internet, the email specified during registration is used.

How to putown money to the account in PSPayPal:

• self-service devices;
• transfers from EPS holders (, YAD, WMT);
• representative offices of Euroset, Svyaznoy;
• VISA, MasterCard cards;
• transactions between two PayPal accounts.

For users in the US, Europe, and some other countries, a wider range of options may be available. Commissions and limits will depend on the option chosen. There is no direct deposit to a PayPal account through a personal account, so you will have to use third-party tools to deposit money.

Self Service Devices

It is impossible to increase the account balance in the PayPal payment system through terminals. The service is not provided by the payment platform. Resourceful users have come up with a way to bypass the restriction. The method implies a more complicated procedure than when depositing funds to third-party wallets.

Instructions on how to deposit money to PayPal through the terminal:

1. Entering cash to the balance of the Qiwi Bank card. In the menu on the screen of the device, select the "QIWI wallet" section. Insert banknotes into the bill acceptor one at a time.
2. Linking to a PayPal account.

Using the method, you can pay for goods with tied plastic. If you figure out how to replenish PayPal through the terminal, you can use a card of any bank in the same way. The scheme has a similar principle. The only caveat is that when depositing funds through self-service machines, a commission will be charged.

Representative offices of Euroset and Svyaznoy

Replenishment in the offices of retailers is possible in cash. To make a transaction, you need to visit any showroom of the partner companies represented. The official portals svyaznoy.ru and euroset.ru are used to find the nearest offices. Detailed description, how to replenish PayPal, is in the reference block in the "Replenishment of the balance on the account" tab.

1. Select the nearest office address. During the visit, you will need an identity card, the required amount of money and wallet details (address Email). A phone may be required to confirm the operation.
2. An employee of the company will transfer the client's personal data to the database of the Rapida partner payment resource.
3. The cashier will print a check, which will require a signature.

The procedure takes 3-5 minutes. The amount instantly appears on the balance in the system account. In some cases, the transfer may take up to 24 hours. Both companies may charge a fee for making a payment.

Transfer of funds via QIWI

It is not possible to directly transfer funds to PayPal in your personal account. The procedure is complicated by restrictions on sending money to third-party electronic wallets that QIWI has installed. Much easier, perhaps, to use as intermediaries.

The site has a wide variety of destinations and a huge number of exchangers. Few resources provide direct: in most situations, you will have to do a double exchange.

You can link QIWI PayWave or QIWI Virtual Card to your PayPal account, but the cards will only be available for paying for goods: utility bills, loan repayments, transfers to other users will not work.

Replenishment with POISON and WMT

Through popular domestic electronic wallets, you can transfer money to PayPal, but the principle of sending money is different.

Using a Yandex wallet is similar to QIWI, since you will have to attach a Yandex.Money card, which will cost 300 rubles. for release. Validity - 3 years. The service is free. Wallet and card balances are identical, so payments are automatically debited from the e-wallet. When using the method, no commissions are taken from the owner.

You can transfer money to PayPal from the attached Yandex.Money card. The balance is updated instantly, but an additional 3% is charged for the transaction (at least 100 rubles).

You can send money via WebMoney to PayPal and back through the built-in WM-exchanger. The operation is available to users with a passport not lower than personal.

Exchange operations are carried out at the internal rate, which is set on the basis of transactions carried out by users of the system. To send an application, you must specify the details of the wallet from which the money will be debited, and the email specified in the PayPal profile. The transaction fee is 2-5% on average. The account holder can open a position by setting their own rate, but will have to wait for a counter offer to appear.

The WMT service does not have a plastic or virtual media that can be attached to account, like Yandex.Money and Qiwi.

Transfer from the card

You can make online purchases or transfer money all over the planet without replenishing your wallet balance, but you need to link a VISA or MasterCard card. You can pay for goods immediately with money located on the account of the plastic carrier. PayPal acts as an intermediary between the issuing bank and the merchant.

Do not be afraid to replenish your PayPal EPS account using a bank card, since the safety of personal information and the security of the operation are guaranteed by the EPS. Information about the card is entered into the system 1 time and stored.

If purchases are paid for with a card from Sberbank or another financial institution, there are no additional fees.

Features of making a deposit through Sberbank

The use of Sberbank cards is carried out identically to the products of other financial institutions. Important point - plastic media running on the MIR system are not supported by the platform. You cannot attach old Visa Electron and Maestro cards.

The guide on how to replenish an account in the PayPal payment system from a Sberbank card does not differ from the universal one step by step instructions. To use the function, you need to connect the card to your PayPal account. Filling out the application takes 3-4 minutes, but confirmation will take 3-5 days.

Before replenishing PayPal through Sberbank Online, you need to resort to tricks, since it is impossible to carry out the operation directly. The essence of the trick is to transfer funds to the card third party bank or to the balance of a virtual wallet, and from there the finances are sent to the PayPal storage.

Transferring money from VirtualCard

The platform does not impose prohibitions on connecting virtual or real cards to an account. Issuing banks may impose restrictions on transfers to third-party payment systems from non-physical media.

Users can send funds from their account balance without commission. If you transfer money from an attached card, the network will request an additional fee of 3.4% + 10 rubles.

To carry out the operation, it is necessary:

1. AT personal account select the "Money transfers" section.
2. Enter the recipient's nickname or email in the empty line.

The method allows friends and family to fund PayPal accounts from a bank card or wallet. The transaction is carried out instantly. The service provides the function of transferring contacts to PayPal from Google and Outlook to the directory.

Replenishment from a mobile phone

The company does not cooperate with any of the Russian cellular providers, so it will not work to deposit money or withdraw money to a subscriber number. To bypass the restriction, you need to issue a debit card. The service is provided by MTS, Beeline and Megafon operators.

It is necessary to replenish MTS and Beeline cards through a separate operation, and Megafon combined the carrier’s account with the client’s phone, so no intermediate steps are required.

1. Search for a suitable exchanger. It is recommended to use the BestChange monitoring service.
2. Choice of direction (QIWI-PayPal, WebMoney-PayPal, etc.).
3. Go to the site of the exchanger.
4. Filling in the request (amount, debit source, purse for crediting).
5. Transaction confirmation.

The course in each exchanger has its own. An additional fee of up to 3% may be charged for making a payment. In order not to run into fraud, you should study the reviews and see the number of customers.

Before you start working with the service, you need to make sure that there is enough money in the site’s reserve to carry out the exchange in the chosen direction.

In order for the money to be debited from the card upon purchase, you must first select your preferred payment method: go to the "Payment methods" section and click on the "Change" button. After setting up a suitable option, you can purchase goods and services. Funds will be automatically debited from the account indicated by the main one.

If the numbers are correct, the card will be activated, and the client will be able to use it during the next transaction.

An unlimited number of cards (credit, debit) are attached to the wallet at any time.

Transfers to other users from the card

The procedure is carried out similarly to the standard transfer of funds to the account of a registered network member. As a preferred method, you need to select the appropriate card so that the money is debited from the plastic, and not from the balance of the wallet.

Sending electronic money is carried out without commission, if the wallet is selected as the source. When withdrawing funds from the card, the platform will additionally deduct the amount of the system fee.

Financial organization PayPal is the largest storage of electronic money. Over the two decades of its existence, the company has managed to grow to the size of a global e-money giant. The company's specialists are constantly working to improve the quality of service, and full-time programmers optimize the functionality of the service.

PayPal is a universal international payment system that allows you not only to transfer money to the accounts of friends or counterparties, but also to pay for purchases on. Using Paypal is quite simple, and in order to register in it, a citizen will have to provide the system with a minimum of information about himself. And, of course, we must not forget about security: PayPal services securely store the user's personal data - from the last name, first name, patronymic and cell number to the series and number of the passport and bank card data.

However, it is not enough, Yandex.Money or Paypal; to make payment transactions, the user must first replenish the account. The easiest ways to put money on PayPal and the benefits of attaching a bank card to your wallet will be discussed below.

How does PayPal work?

First, a few words about the payment system. Like other electronic wallets, Paypal is designed for remote settlements using the Global Network. Currently, only a standard Internet connection is supported: I2P and onion-structure capabilities are not yet available to users. The same applies to blockchain technology: developments in this direction have been going on for more than a year, but at present, wallet owners will have to be content with the usual way of making transactions.

Important: if in order to, you need to tell the payment system only your name, email address and current cell number, then PayPal already requires the address of residence, passport data (series and number) of the future account owner and (optional) green insurance number during registration certificate (SNILS) or taxpayer identification number.

Another not very convenient registration condition is the need to immediately indicate the data of at least one bank card in the hands of the user:

• sixteen-digit number given on the front side of the card;
• expiration date, usually indicated directly below the number;
• CVV2 / CVC2 code, in most cases indicated on the back plastic card, but sometimes placed right next to the main room.

Users from the Russian Federation can open several currency accounts in the Paypal system to choose from, but only cards issued by domestic banks can be attached. It is to be hoped that these restrictions will eventually be lifted, but there is no hope for a quick solution to the problem.

Remote payments in the PayPal universal electronic system are carried out according to the following scheme:

1. To use the services, you must register with PayPal: anonymous transactions are not currently available. The features of registration were described above, it is not associated with special difficulties. The main thing is to have documents at hand (passport and TIN or SNILS) and a valid mobile operator number. Disable ad blockers or additional setting browser is not required before registration: Paypal is tolerant of the user's desire to work on the "clean" Internet.
2. If the purchase is made in any online store that supports payment using PayPal, it is enough to select the goods and send them to the basket, click the "Pay" button or similar and select the withdrawal of funds from the PayPal account.
3. Now the owner of the e-wallet will be redirected to home page PayPal. Here, in order to log in to the system, he will need to enter his identification data in the appropriate fields: the previously invented login (e-mail address) and password, and then click on the "Login" button.
4. Once in the personal account, the user can familiarize himself with the features of the transaction offered to him and confirm the transfer of funds - or refuse it. Payment is made from an attached bank card or from a PayPal account, which can be replenished in many different ways, the simplest of which are given in the next section.
5. After receiving the user's approval, PayPal will transfer the funds to the account of the online store, then the payment can be considered completed.
6. As part of existing agreements between end users and agents (intermediaries), the owner of the PayPal wallet may subsequently (before the expiration of the deadline) declare a change of mind and demand a refund to the account. This is not always feasible, but you should not forget about this possibility.

Another advantage of the PayPal payment system is a complex, constantly updated algorithm for protecting against fraudulent activities, which creates certain difficulties for users, but guarantees almost one hundred percent security of their Money stored in the electronic wallet, as well as previously entered personal data.

Important: in the PayPal remote payment system, which will be described below, there is no subscription fee for using the wallet. In most cases, the account owner will need to pay a commission for each operation, consisting of a fixed part and a percentage of the transaction amount; there are no further fees, implicit or explicit.

How do I fund my PayPal account?

There are several ways to fund your PayPal e-wallet account:

• Through online resources for currency exchange. Some sites provide the ability to withdraw funds from another electronic wallet or directly from a bank card to PayPal; if this is not possible, the visitor can always find another platform - you cannot complain about their lack on the Internet.
• In the largest domestic cellular stores: Euroset and Svyaznoy. The only drawback of this way to top up a PayPal account is the need to get to the office and, possibly, stand in a small queue.

Important: the possibilities of the PayPal payment system are constantly honed and expanded. In the future, there will undoubtedly be more ways to replenish an account in Russia, and therefore it makes sense from time to time to check the current data of the universal service.

Exchange offices

Depending on which electronic service the owner of the PayPal wallet has chosen, a transfer fee may be charged from it, and registration or authorization on the exchange site will probably be required. As practice shows, it is more profitable to replenish a PayPal dollar account, and then convert the currency into rubles. This option provides for a minimum commission and, oddly enough, a high speed of transferring funds.

If, however, it is important for the user to replenish the ruble account in the PayPal system, he can select the appropriate transaction in the systems:

1. iChanger (ichanger.net) - commission from 300 rubles.
2. ExchangeX (exchangex.ru) - commission from 3 dollars in ruble equivalent at the current rate.
3. MagnatuS (magnatus.com) - commission from 5 dollars in ruble equivalent at the exchange rate at the time of the transaction.

Important: Pre-registration is required on all the resources listed above. If the wallet owner is not satisfied with this condition, he can find other websites that are less demanding in terms of data verification, but charge even more commission.

Euroset and Svyaznoy

To replenish a PayPal account in Euroset and Svyaznoy mobile phone stores operating throughout the country, a PayPal user should:

• Find the nearest office of any of the named networks and go to it.
• Make sure that the operator is free, and explain to him the purpose of the visit.
• Tell the salon employee your payment details (e-mail address or cell phone number specified during registration with Paypal).
• Transfer the required amount to the service account using cash or a bank card.
• Wait for the system to notify about the successful transfer of funds.
• Thank the operator and leave the office.

Currently, it will be possible to replenish a PayPal account in Svyaznoy and Euroset stores with the following restrictions:

• maximum one-time transfer - 15 thousand rubles;
• the amount of transactions per calendar month - up to 40 thousand rubles;
• you can replenish in this way only a ruble PayPal account;
• the service is not available for corporate wallets.

What does linking a bank card to PayPal give?

By linking a bank card to a PayPal e-wallet, the user will be able to:

• complete the registration procedure in the system, confirming your identity and having the opportunity to make payment transactions with virtually no restrictions, and in the future - to increase the status of your account;
• pay for goods and services on the Internet not only from the “internal account” of Paypal, but also directly from the card;
• restore access to the wallet if the authorization data was lost or for some reason ceased to be perceived by the system;
• receive money returned by the online store for low-quality goods: usually the agency agreement provides for their receipt not to the PayPal account, but to the linked bank card.

However, today it makes no sense to talk about the merits of attaching a plastic card to an electronic wallet: a user who has not indicated at least one number will simply not be able to log into his account - in other words, linking a card is an indispensable condition for registering in the PayPal system.

Summing up

To replenish a PayPal account, the owner of an electronic wallet can transfer money from a plastic card issued by any domestic bank or payment system. However, the most simple ways currently, payments remain through online currency exchangers or in Euroset and Svyaznoy mobile phone stores.

In the first case, it is more profitable to transfer funds to the dollar balance of the PayPal wallet; in the second, the user can only operate national currency. Linking a plastic card to a wallet is mandatory: without it, it is simply impossible to complete registration in the system and start using electronic services PayPal. And it is on the attached card that the wallet owner will be able to receive money for a canceled transaction - for example, in the case of returning a low-quality product to an online store.

UPD 01/28/2019 Verification through the Euroset is working. There were some problems, but everything has been restored. If Euroset employees refuse to do it (they say that the service is blocked), then ask them to try and make sure that everything is already set up and working. Full service name: 600542 PayPal-identification of citizens of the Russian Federation

As a matter of fact, there have already been messages on the forum regarding this topic. I want to dot all i and write a small manual on this topic.

And it all starts with the fact that a letter arrives in the mail with the following content:

You need to verify your personal details.

Hello Ivan Ivanovich!

With this letter, we inform you that you need to go through one more stage - personal confirmation of your identity. This is a legal requirement that we must comply with. You need to complete this important process by August 26, 2016.

If you are unable to verify your details in person before the specified deadline, we will be forced to apply temporary restrictions to your PayPal account.

How to verify your identity

Submit your identification code XXX-XXX-XXXX and your passport to the nearest Euroset store.

If you are a citizen of another state, provide your identification code XXX-XXX-XXXX, passport, residence permit (if any) and migration card.

Note.

After personal confirmation of personal data in the Euroset salon, you do not need to contact us. If necessary, we will contact you by e-mail.
Receiving your data from the Euroset salon may take several days.
When confirming your data during a personal visit, you will need to deposit 100 rubles. When the verification process is completed, we will refund this amount to your PayPal balance within 30 days.
Thank you for your cooperation!

If you had English in the settings, then the letter will look like: (see under the spoiler).

Spoiler

We need to complete step of identity verification in person. This is a legal requirement. You can complete this important step before 23 August 2015.

If we can't confirm your identity in person by that date, we may need to restrict what you can do with your PayPal account.

How to confirm your identity

Please bring to nearest Evroset store your reference number 00000000 and the following documents:

Russian citizen

your passport.

your passport.

Residences permit if you have one, and your migration card.

Note: Confirmation of your identity in person will cost 100 RUB. Once the verification process is completed, we will credit your PayPal account with this amount at a later date.

Thank you for your cooperation.

The first thought that comes to mind is that this is some kind of scam. But after studying the letter and thinking about the content, I came to the conclusion that there is no "corpus delicti" here, and that the requirement is quite normal (although not pleasant).

By phone, PayPal confirmed to me that yes, this is a legal requirement that user verification must take place "live", and not by scans of documents. But they were surprised that the test had already begun. According to them, they were waiting for the beginning in August.

What to do, it is necessary so it is necessary. We go to Euroset. Operators in the Euroset have no idea what it is. But having searched in their program, they found something, accepted the money and entered the information from the passport into the computer. Victory!

After some time, a letter of the following content falls in the mail:

Hello Ivan Ivanovich!

Thank you for your personal confirmation of your identity. If your access to your PayPal account was restricted, it has now been restored and you can continue to use it normally.

We will transfer $100 to your PayPal account over the next few months.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Sincerely,

This is how, with a flick of the wrist, 30 days from the first letter turned into several months from the second letter
But at least they promise to return (they would return an hour and a half of time, which went on a trip to the Euroset).

Here is a mini guide.
If you received a letter of such content - do not be alarmed, and go through verification (the letter will come from the words of Paypal to everyone, even those who have previously passed verification using document scans).

And in the topic you can share your experience!

The PayPal payment system provides users with secure online purchases and transfers around the world. In the west, this service has long captured the palm of leadership.
