    It is standard and it is needed to verify your account. Wait for the two payments to show on your bank account and then log back into paypal and there will be a list of things you need to do including entering the two amounts.

    no, it's their bank account verification. when you can see what the two amounts are, you have to fill them in on the paypal website to make sure that the account in fully verified.

    eta - sorry, soo, cross posted.

    Its a standard verification. You have to check the 2 amounts-pennies and then when you have them input them into a verification page on paypal. They do this so that it is definately your bank linked to your paypal
