Asked for info by paypal
 

when I added a new BA to my long-standing PP, I got hit with the "suspicious activity" PP email -- my question is what steps will be required to verify on PP?
is it only the phone verification in this situation?
or is it phone verification + the answers to both (2 total) security questions?

What type of bank account?

Was this long standing paypal already verified?

What else did you do? Remove a bank account first?

:spy:

What do you think they'll ask me to do, though, i'm hoping it will be simple like verify through original landline.

@hapajen1

It should be straight forward.

Did you use a different computer to do all of this on paypal? Was there anything else going on?

paypal does this to protect accounts.

Is there more you should add ?

Kiss of Death to my PP
 

I am expecting the worst outcome. PP won't let me withdraw to BA. I got hit with the "suspicious activity" notice and i cannot answer these impossible questions that they're asking when I log into PP (one of them being the first card # i associated but that was years ago and i didn't write it down).

The problem is i got a lot of money in this PP ..... so I might just email to request they start the 180 hold. On this forum i've read some of you get half of the amount before the 180 day hold, and the second half after the 180 days. Do you just email PP to request this , or do you have to call in and give an explanation ?

There is a thread outlining the steps you can go though to try to get PP to release some/all funds. Have a search and you may find it, it essentially said to threaten them with letter to the attorney general, and other members of the local and national authority. It also had a list of all known PP contact email address.

They did have some success if I remember. No harm in trying at least

Question for once 180 days is up -- are you required to withdraw ALL of the remaining money in one withdraw, to one BA? or can you split it (say , $1000 each to 3 BA, instead of $3000 in one withdraw to one BA) ? the reason I ask is banks are known to report if you inject too much money in one time.

I have done this once - splitting it into 2 - yes, waste of a bank account but I had to for payment reasons. IT will work fine but remember that you are burning bank accounts in the process - dont try to reuse in other pp accounts.

thanks for the info...
after the 180 (or 90 days), then how many days does PP allow you to sign on to the PP account (to add BA, withdraw, etc) before it gets locked again?

Not aware that it becomes time specific.

I would ensure that you remove the funds as quickly as prudent.

ps: I hope you have all your info for other accounts to not get caught again.

:peace:

You will always be allowed to sign into your account - you just cant do anything with it once withdrawal is done
