Did PayPal keep ID numbers linked to accounts ?
 

Hi,

Did anyone know if PayPal keeps ID number linked to the account when we provide national ID ?

My stealth PayPal account will reach €1800 EU limit soon and will be asked to provide docs. The creative ID is already done but I have kept my real ID number on it just in case they will check if number is valid. Problem is that I have an old PP account with real info so ID number is the same, then if PP keep ID numbers linked to accounts I should maybe change the real number with a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ one, chances to pass verification will be lower if they check manually though.

My stealth eBay was limited so provided creative ID with real ID number on it and it passed the verification easily. Don't know if it will be the same with PP.

Thanks.

They keep every single bit of data that goes on their websites, apps, social media, and so on.

Agreed. They never forget or delete anything.

Third this idea - PP keeps all info. I wouldnt risk reusing info
