Has anyone when requesting payment been asked to verify their email address via paypal? I have redeemed quite a few times on this site, but tonight they have asked to verify my email by paypal - which seemed a bit odd as I have had no problems regards that before. As yet I have not done this, as my payments have gone through no problem with them before, last one being December of last year.

I tried to redeem tonight too and even though my previous £10 paypal payments last year didn't require my account to be verified, this time it said I had to have a verified account - as there are no other options for redeeming, I have had to verify my paypal account by linking it to my bank account and waiting for paypal to check it is a valid account (apparently they deposit money in it). I'm not sure why they are insisting on a verified account as I have had larger sums than £25 both into and out of my paypal account previously with no problems.

Thanks Jilly, I have only £25 this time to redeem, but never had this problem before. The reason I was hesitant it didn't seem to be a padlocked site, which normally they are. Thanks again. Good to see I'm not the only one!

I have been asked twice now for email confirmation via PayPal. I take it as being security check more than anything else.

Thanks George, just being over cautious I suppose!!
