21 days holds / Unable to confirm identity

smartguy · #1 05-11-2017

Just pushed my luck with PayPal. I made a few sales and i was getting 21 days holds, then I made a few more sales even if I was getting holds again. Today, surprise! They added holds for all of my payments till I confirm identity. But if i press "Confirm identity" I get "Unable to confirm identity"
Country: CANADA

Just provide good service and do things properly and these holds will go away on their own within 3-4 months of your first sale.
Dont push your luck and dont agitate paypal. Not worth it.

Account age : 4 months! I already passed one time over those 21 days holds as you can see...
All this holds are not ebay related. Never used Ebay.

Now they want to "Confirm identity". If I click on that it will not work "Unable to confirm your identity".

I had a case like this and it went away exactly after 4 months, but I don't know if it was because i changed 2 phone numbers and one time the address.. or it was just because 4 months passed.
