Paypal wanting ssn when creating new paypal

[Dnorm398]

I noticed that when you first create an paypal account when you putting in your info on one of the steps paypal will ask you for your ssn has this happen to anyone?

I have not noticed this and I create accounts almost every day. Are you referring the the screen that asks for you date of birth and SSN which is to apply for some sort of credit? Because you can easily skip that.

I am thinking this must be it, or that your PayPal account was immediately flagged. Because if PayPal had a new requirement for an SSN from every new user, there would not be ONE forum post about it, but more like 100 posts.

I noticed that asking ssn page too. They put it up in big bold entry screens implying u need to enter it, and then the no thanks button really small so u will be tricked into putting it in there. You can just skip it by pushing that really small no thanks button.
