what to do paypal wants social security on my stealth account???
 

I have over $1000 on my now limited verified paypal account that is 2 months old and now they want my SSN# on my stealth account so what do I do?


please help!

You've been here a while so I'm a bit confused. First, you have over 1k in your pp. :doh: Second it's only 2 months old... Not sure why you would think that would be ok.


Anyways, you can either wait the 180 days. Or call and speak with someone higher up, to see if they will let bypass the SSN.

I heard if you call PP about bypassing the SSN they won't budge on it

There is no magic answer. You can try talk them out of it and if they insist you have to wait 6 months. Some people have gotten around it, but I think those days are over

So then why are you asking what to do if you already know????:faint:


BTW, I know a few people that HAVE bypassed the SSN by calling.

Check your PM's. ;)

PM sent


Im going to go ahead and call PP tomorrow and see if they can bypass the SSN problem, are there any hints I should know? Lakeman?

Please let us know what happens. :yar:

Well my account was limited and they asked me for everything including ssn...i gave them some of the stuff they asked but i refused the ssn..and it was a new acct. a couple weeks old getting large payments...i spoke with someone in limitations and she told me to send in my invoices nd they would unlimit the account without ssn..and they did...

Well I got a message from Paypal yesterday and they said my PP account will be closed and that I can't appeal so I called them and they said almost the same, they also told me they are going to my keep money for up to 180... yeah they suck

I've tried to fight the non SS limitation a number of times and have never one.

I've supplied invoices, util bills everything.

One time I came close to beating it. I gave them an EIN number.. they unlimited the account for about a day, then it was limited again.

I now have an account with a SS# attached to it. I think soon, everyone (in US atleast) that plans on using paypal to accept X amount of money will have to supply a SS#.

X is an undetermined amount of money received.

You have to be EXTREMELY NICE when talking to them if you want to bypass SSN, otherwise ⊗⊗⊗⊗ something and tell them you are DEATHLY afraid of anyone having your SSN and you haven't ever told a SOUL except the US GOVERNMENT...hahha, might believe it.

Not only do you have to be extremely nice, but you have to be even luckier.

I had a lady on the phone we were talking about everything, weather, location, what she liked to do, i had her joking around I really thought I was golden. But she wouldn't budge on the social.
