I made a payment by Paypal using a guest account. I got my transaction id also but now eller is saying paypal has hold the funds with them they are doing some investigation. I sent a mail to paypal and they sent back me some FAQ question. Any way to contact them except ISD call.

Did you bind your CC to the paypal account...? Was it verified, and was your PAN verified..?

//MOD:
Merged both threads.

For Indian users:

1. Sign up to Paypal with email ID.
2. Give PAN and Address.
3. Bind a CC (only CC). As soon as this is done a test of $1.00 will be deducted from the CC.

You are now eligible to do an outgoing up to USD $500.00.

4. Verify your CC. They do another test deduction of $1.95 and set up a verification process, and the $500.00 out going limit is lifted.

If you want to receive, you got to set up a bank account, which is a separate process.

(3) and (4) will be refunded to your CC after some time. Just a test.

Sorry brother. Without a PAN you cannot make a payment AFAIK. You can use your parents PAN too anyways. But without any PAN you cannot.

Which type of card was it that you inputted on the CC. I think India does not allow, this.

It will get reversed. You cannot in India, without a CC binding to the account.

In that case the PayPal account should be in the parent's name whose PAN card is being utilized.
