Quick security check
 

Was trying to withdraw from PP and when I click to withdraw, it goes to a quick security check (stealth account). Usually I'd confirm by cellphone but for this account I was stupid enough to lose access to that GV.

Any options? Can I just wait it out? Or they won't let me withdraw without this "quick security check"? Can I change my PP phone numbers?

Thanks!

Don't try to confirm anything again with multiple failed attempts will likely lead to your account getting limited.

I would just patiently wait a while and move on to other accounts.

I'd go easy. Let things cool down, add a brand new phone number, and then a few days later attempt the withdrawal (small amount).

Just adding the number and attempting to withdraw right away may not do the trick. Even if you delete the primary phone number on file, PayPal sometimes forces you to confirm using that primary number.

Let us know how it works out.

You have 2 options:

1. Wait for 3-6 month to use new phone

2. Call to paypal and ask for their help

Thanks to all of you who replied.

I ended up restoring access to the phone # that is currently on PP and verified the code easily.
