Paypal asking for ID
 

I have a paypal from buyvcc. Paypal is requesting an ID.
It has my real name but wrong Address.
How do I supply them with that?

Re: Paypal asking for ID
 

I had this issue awhile back.

Even though my ID/drivers license scan address didn't match PayPal, I was able to include another document that did.

This is normal because people move all the time and the address on peoples ID's might not be current. PayPal knows this and will allow you to provide additional document such as:

Utility Bill
Bank/CC Statement
Cellphone Bill
Property Tax Bill
Invoice/Bill of Sale

Just use a real one, and have the info creatively changed per your requirements.

Heck, I have even just wrote a note in a PDF document that explained why my address on my drivers license didn't match my current address. It worked.

Thank you for the info!

I have 2 paypal accounts. 1 for my buyvcc and a personal one with my correct info.

I have an old drivers license and can get creative with the documents. But will they notice that my Drivers license info match both accounts?

When it comes to PayPal, anything is possible. You can just go ahead and give them your current Drivers License with your old address on it, and there is still a good chance they will accept it anyway. The reason being is because most of the "document review" is more or less automated. In fact, I doubt that that in many cases humans never see it in the first place- it's just kept on file as normal routine.

Keep in mind that PayPal has nearly 250 million accounts, and even if just 1% of them need reviewing, they simply don't have the manpower to check them all.

If they don't accept your docs, you will usually have another opportunity to resubmit.

If all they are asking for is ID, the chances are pretty good you will have your limitation lifted so long as they arn't requesting more than that.

Thank you so much! it was approved for now.
Should I be careful on the amount I sell for now? I am really only selling used clothes from my closet ranging from 20-400 at a time and the account.
