If this has already been discussed then please forgive me. I added a credit card to my account and am being told I need a "Member number" for $1.95. What is this about? Thanks.

This may help.
From PayPal's User Agreement Some accounts, at PayPal's disretion, will be required to complete our membership process. Specifically, this means that you may be required to pay a $1.95 member fee to establish your PayPal account and must complete the membership process by logging into your PayPal account and entering the four-digit Member Number associated with the $1.95 fee. This membership process will be complete if and when you correctly enter your Member Number on the PayPal website. After you have successfully entered your Member Number, you will receive a $1.95 bonus for the next PayPal payment you send. (Note: this bonus may take up to 24 hrs to process and be reflected in your PayPal account balance.) PayPal may require you to complete the membership process each time you add a funding source to your PayPal account.
The 4 digit member number would be on the credit card statement. It's a means of providing additional assurances that the person registering the card really is authorized to use it as they'd normally be the only one with easy access to the credit card statement.

Lord love a duck! Thanks for the explanation. I've had the account for about 2 years (its tied to another credit card and a bank account) and just added another credit card. What a pile of you know what....
