paypal id verification
 

paypal account was limited because of a increase of sales. i called in and gave my stealth info. they said that they cant find anything with that name along with that birthday on the US public records. They said that they have access to US public records. is that true?

so if i send them a stealth id they can see if not in public records?

Oh damn I never heard of them having "public records" at all.

I have heard of holds due to suspicion on stealth accounts - which is quite normal.

I believe after like 180 days of holding your money, they HAVE to let who ever has access do the final wire transfer. They don't want to get caught stealing your money even if you did enter stealth info to create the account. They are just a third party and not a bank - so it's not a crime.

I don't know how much money you have in there so that may be an issue. All I know is they won't want to keep your money past 180 days. A bank transfer anyway will reveal to the IRS that you took in the money and as long as you pay taxes that is not money laundering.

In short after 180 days max I say they pretty much have to give it to you. Stealth is against their policies but not illegal since they are not the government.

yeah i get everything you said. but this is the first time where they said they checked the info to the US public records... so even if i do provide them with the requested ID, it wont pass because its a stealth id?

I would first call back and hope for a more intelligent PP agent to speak to...or at least a more understanding one
