Re: "Sorry, we can't verify who you are" when adding bank account - changed phone num
The phone # verification and "Sorry we can't verify it's you" message seems to be SOP with PayPal these days.
Adding a new phone number won't help at least initially. It's *highly* recommened you always keep the original phone # on the account active for this reason.
This is just their way of saying there are security concerns and if you call them you are going to be asked to pass public records database questions most of the time.
What could have triggered this? It's hard to say for sure, but it could be what you're selling, amount, how often you are withdrawing, your IP address, or a multitude of other things. I have personally found that if the IP address is not totally clean, it's going to trip the "Quick Security Check" routine. Thus make darn sure the IP address is not one was used before and is clean. Refer to the stealth guide for more guidance in this area.
Most people on this forum, and I agree you should just let the account sit for a period of time. If you keep trying to w/d money or force it, it's likely to resuilt in a limitation or extend the time you won't be able to do anything.
