Limited legit Paypal acct
First off, awesome forum tons of good information.
After my original ebay account was suspended last year, a secondary account was created with use of a parents info. Bank account is legit, address legit, ssn legit, mobile # legit; the only thing not 100% legit is a letter in his last name.
I sold small stuff for a couple months with no issues to get some feedback/history. I didn't have any issues until about the 3rd month when I moved to NY and tried to add my new address/cc to the account. I added the address fine and confirmed with a fresh visa linked here. The visa is in my name (same last name as his just again, one letter off) and my address here. After adding the addy/card I tried to have the item shipped here and the transaction declined (using $ from my PP account). I logged in PP and it immediately asked to confirm the mobile # on file (google voice # forwarding to my cell). Not knowing, I attempted to have them text/call the # with no avail. I called PP and the girl on the phone had me delete the phone# on file and re-add it to have it try to verify again.
While trying this (literally on the phone with her), the account became limited. She then transferred me to someone else who started requesting proof of identity (ss card copy, license, etc.).
I'm not sure if it was the inability to confirm with the phone, the slight difference in last name (i.e. Hanson vs Hansen) or the address change that triggered it but I just left it after getting tied up with other stuff.
This was 5 months or so ago. I'm looking to get the acct back up and running. The ebay account is fine but the PP acct is still limited.
When I logged on to PP yesterday it asked me to confirm the phone $ again then went to the limited screen on my account overview. What would you guys suggest the best plan to get it back up? Last thing they asked for was a copy of ss card or license, neither of which I have. Would having them correct the last name error then trying to reconfirm with a forwarded land line be the best way?
Thanks
