Paypal requires SSN/ITIN, whats next?
 

Hello! I bought an account here a month ago and do dropshipping on eBay. Paypal recently required SSN/ITIN number in order to proceed to use the account. I am a European citizen and do not have SSN/ITIN or any company or EIN number in the US. Is there any way around it and what exactly should I do next?

Your help will be highly appreciated!

I ready read most of the threads on the subject but since I am not a US citizen I don't really get what should I do now. If there is no way to proceed with this account I hope that I will have enough time to withdraw the money before they freeze it.

Looking forward to your replies :)

You need to apply for a ITIN. You can do that from Europe.

You're going to have a very hard time with this. If you're able to upgrade the account at all.

It seems like Paypal has been getting sick of non-USA users receiving payments on USA accounts. Applying for and giving Paypal an ITIN is the only option but there's a very high chance they'll ask for more info (ID, proof of address/SSN) if and when you do give an ITIN.

If they want an ITIN from you it is the only solution

Once again please change your flag to your actual country....
