Default New PayPal Check Identity Message?



Hi guys,

This morning I was logging into my PP account, and got this message.

Have had my account for 2 years now with very good record. Been selling eBay & PP for about 7 years now, never experienced this before.

Has anyone came across this before? What will they ask?

As this is a 100% stealth account, I don't have any sort of documents.

Thanks in advance!

Did you take out a loan or apply for one?

No I didn't. Just did some research about working capital and only just found out about the loan they offer. But I definitely didn't apply for anything.

got the same thing on all 3 of my stealth accounts. One is 5 years old and has 25,000 feedback. Didn't apply for a loan or even remember reading anything about it. It may be paypal getting updated information in preparation for the split from ebay. Certainly hope there not going to ask for business registration ect or its all over. Haven't received a phone call or follow up email yet.

When did you got the notification? Are your accounts all registered as business?

Yes, I'm the same. Let us know if you heard anything further from PP. I'll do the same as well.

It's probably linked to the recent ID verification changes the Aussie government have brought in, had the same issue with an XE currency account

What are the changes? What documents do you think they will ask for?

Has your Paypal account been through the verify ID that usually comes up after you've had $1000 go through the account?

I have 1 card expired, and have not yet received my new card. I would assume the new card will have the same BSB & ACC & Card number, just different EXP & CCV? Shouldn't be much of a issue to update the new card.

So you have more than 1 stealth ebay account? Did they all get the paypal message but only 1 account had an expired cc? Would be great if it was just the expired CC issue. Easily fixed

I got something similar on a small account when I forgot the password, no uploading docs though they just want answers to couple account security questions, or a phone call when they would probably ask those security questions again.

I have 2 stealth, but I didn't use the other account on that day. This account didn't have that message anymore since yesterday.

At the end of last year. I remember paypal updating their terms and conditions to say that they could/would do credit checks on people using premier or business accounts. This could be the credit check.

Since then, i have registered all my stealth accounts on personal just in case.
