@rsot: of course not linked, all stealth !

@SaiJin: really dont want to get an EIN. Not sure if this a "soft" limitation. Looks like another new Paypal layout with this BS attached.

Hopefully somebody has a solution...

Add a VBA and I'll bet it goes away. The picture of your PP account you uploaded shows it has no bank account attached, just a card. BTW you should black out identifying details next time. A PP rep could see this thread and go looking for your account.

If I'm wrong and it still wants your SSN after adding a VBA or real bank, then that's scary. That could indicate Paypal is finally making the transition to being a real bank/merch acct provider in order to make up for the losses they'll incur by eBay cutting them off in 5 years.

UPDATE:



This is not a new feature, this is a back-end-problem.

Spent several hours on the phone with PP - they could not explain whats going on. Apparently a security feature going haywire.



Nothing could over-ride it and they admitted (well they are always lying anyways) that the account has no risk.



Fairly new account, fully verified with VBA and VCC, mobile confirmed, IP solid. Just got a few low-amount payments in.



SOLUTION:

Paypal closed the account for me and opened a new one (LOL).





I ran into the same issue with a second account now. Let's see how that goes.



I have 40-50 active and maybe another 30-40 agin, so far only 2 accounts showed this issue.

This just seems to be a way for PP to get verification before allowing funds to leave the account.

I highly doubt this is the idea.
That would mean that nobody could use a paypal-balance to pay for anything without providing SS. If this would be true you might as well shut PP down - millions of users gone instantly.

Makes sense to me. Seems like a reaction by PP to people using stealth accounts for fraud. They want you to either add a bank they can draw funds from or prove who you are before giving you access to money.

I think the part is right if you already add a VBA this claim your money thing won't pop up, but I usually don't add a bank acct until after I'm sure the account is stable and taken in a little bit of money already.

Make your own thread explaining what is happening to you?

The same exact thing. Is a new thread really necessary if the problem is exactly the same ?
