Some item categories are monitored more closely for fraudulent activity. In order to bid on reward points and code items, you must verify either your credit/debit card/bank account information or your phone number. You can verify your active credit/debit card or bank account by making a $1 purchase. We use Paypal to process the transaction, but you don't need a Paypal account to complete verification. Note that transactions for credit card/bank account verification are non-refundable.
