Apparently, Paypal is making this request on a ton of accounts already. And it kills them when they do because many are business aliases.
But Paypal doesn't care. If you read the thread on why EBAY is suspending so many and what their business model is moving towards, you will understand.
Requesting social doesn't hurt the big business selling through EBAY, it is just a way of nailing the little guy.
I had Paypal request SS on an account I just opened that wasn't even linked to an EBAY account yet a couple of weeks ago. I was like, BZZZZT. I just dumped the account. Screw them.
paypalsucks.com is having more relevance every day.
