Re: Paypal SSN Verification
 

Verify last 4 of SSN and confirm address, or you won't be able to hold a PP balance and all payments will be instantly transferred in/out of your bank account.

Honestly I don't see that as a problem as when we sell on eBay, we just withdraw the funds to our banks.

When we wanna send money, we have a dedicated buyer's account that uses either a CC or Gift card.

It's started. Going through my accounts, i have a few that have been locked up like this already today

Re: Paypal SSN Verification
 

So if you never use paypal funds to pay for anything? it seems like a possible trigger.

Re: Paypal SSN Verification
 

@omg - few questions if you have time

Were those funds available to you before and they're now asking you to claim them?
Is this a newish account? (<1yr old)
No bank on that account, right?

Scary stuff - but luckily I haven't seen it on any of my accounts. I think all mine are at least 1yr old now though.

Re: Paypal SSN Verification
 

Oh I meant I only use my seller accounts to sell, then I have 1 buyer account to make purchases.

Re: Paypal SSN Verification
 

So my 10+ year old account has the warning bell on the top that says confirm your identity to send money to another paypal.

I'm still receiving money in it and withdrawing it to my bank.


Just wondering, are you guys concerned about the PP to PP thing? If so, why?
I figure that you can always just use either your credit card to pay another PP user.

Re: Paypal SSN Verification
 

It's a real inconvenience...............basically trying to buy stuff now is no good through PayPal...

Can only buy and send if you have ssn attached....

US govt cracking down big time on paypal

Basically a majority of my accounts are now only capable of receiving money......... Cashing out will be quite difficult

Re: Paypal SSN Verification
 

I can live with a small inconvenience and change my life style if it means consistently making money with less trouble.

Re: Paypal SSN Verification
 

I can see why ebay is transitioning to other payment processors now....

Re: Paypal SSN Verification
 

I hear you. But at the same time, they were owned by the same company.

It must be something different that caused them to decide to use a different processor

Re: Paypal SSN Verification
 

I know how to get past this game with them it's just the 500+ paypal accounts I have to find a way to clear the money out

Re: Paypal SSN Verification
 

You have entirely too many Paypal accounts lol. I think you're exactly the type of user they're looking to put an end to. :(

Re: Paypal SSN Verification
 

most of the stuff I do........doesnt even hurt them...........

they should be thanking me....clearly their are many weaknesses with their system.......

Re: Paypal SSN Verification
 

one of my regrets is that i need to stop looking for the path of least resistance.......

everytime I look for a convenient and cheap way to do things on paypal....my method gets patched they figure it out pretty quickly....

so I am trying to make a change to look for clean complicated and time consuming method.....

so that its hard for them to detect and they can't really patch or adjust their algorithm system to what i am doing....

So I avoid cutting corners.......so far its working.....and I have new methods in place after their cute games....

I will try to keep things on paypal as quiet as possible......i am pretty certain some of the new measurements on paypal are my doing......lol

Re: Paypal SSN Verification
 

I have that confirm info to use paypal balance notification for one of my paypal accounts and I was still able to send out my paypal balance money without a problem.......

Re: Paypal SSN Verification
 

Correct
No. More than 5 years old.
It was bank verified, but it was with a temporary acct that was purchased from a seller here, so it was closed years ago.
I have a few theories, mostly involving dormancy.

Re: Paypal SSN Verification
 

So they're asking for verification, you can submit docs right away? Or are they asking for ssn? What if you're a border hopper and you don't have an ssn at the moment?

Re: Paypal SSN Verification
 

Then you can add a bank account and withdraw money that way

Re: Paypal SSN Verification
 

I have a lot of paypals now with the nice blue box......saying claim it..........can't spend the pp balance......thats just great......

paypal is slowly converting over ALL paypal accounts to force the ssn verification.....

Re: Paypal SSN Verification
 

From what I see, once they requested this verification, you can't bypass it with docs.
Anyone else with some other experience?
