Old PayPal account with Social Security Number
 

Hey guys, I searched through the boards but never found the answer, so here ya go.

How long does PayPal keep records of older PayPal accounts? I am talking like 8 years ago, if not a little longer.

Also, I still have a PayPal account that is active for my website and it has been linked to Ebay accounts that have been suspended, but the PayPal account remains active. It is a 9 year old account. I am assuming that if I set up a new Ebay account with that PayPal, the Ebay account will get the hammer, right?

Thanks for any helpful answers!

Yea, because PayPal keeps records forever. No, 8, 9 years.. forever!

I assumed that correctly, but was hoping someone had some firm knowledge of that, or "Insider Knowledge". Thanks!

I would think more like forever.

Forever AND before, a record is kept.:eek:

So, you're saying they OWN me! : )

And my yet to be first born!

AND, his and all that are mere stars in the skies:faint: :cheer:

LOL!!!:dance:

I'd not use a paypal account with my social. See http://www.aspkin.com/forums/uk-payp...ll-happen.html

PayPal is now going around doing the google checkout thing of reversing every payment you've ever received long after you've shipped the items, stealing from your and giving to buyers who already received items.

With your social, they will ruin your credit rating.
