New PayPal Account Received "Money is Waiting on You"?

[vigilantex69]

So my only option was to transfer the money to my bank account, which I did. It will not let me do ANYTHING besides verify my information or transfer it to a bank account.

Any advice or help with this? I won't even be able to pay eBay fees now? This is freaking insane I have never seen PayPal immediately do this from day one anymore.

Can you pay the ebay fees by simple money order

That’s what I’m looking into. It says you can pay now with a credit card as well?

[nodeal]

Like I said, I have accounts that have the "Claim It" button and I still am able to use my PayPal to pay eBay fees. Otherwise the only thing aside from that I can do with my PayPal balance is transfer to a bank account.

As for shipping, you can use a third party like stamps.com or shipstation. Plenty of others out there as well.

None of what? no-one has posted a solution, only comments and suggestions

Who else is having this issue?

I had the same issue.
Solution:Refunded the payment and deleted the account.

Were you able to open a new one just fine or was it the same as the previous
?

Same issue here. Bought 5 stealth accounts from different sellers here. And ALL of them have this issue.
So, my question is to account sellers: do you guys have old account with fully working PayPal? I'm ready to pay more than regular price for them now :-)

It was advised to switch to UK accounts on the first page. What if I trade within USA only? Will my items listed on UK account be searchable on USA ebay?

[vigilantex69]

It seems to me you have to claim it and transfer to a bank account every time now. Super annoying when you’re selling smaller items.

I’m not sure what to make of this. I talked to a buddy of mine high up in banking and he said he believes this is due to money laundering. PayPal has come under heavy scrutiny and they may be forcing members to verify their SSN and Tax ID numbers now, or instantly transfer it to a bank for record.

For new usa paypals, recently many accs will have this issue.
You can try to buy some aged accs.
aged accs still work.

same with my older account, but I can still transfer to a bank account. What I am wondering is what they do with customer refunds. It also appears that you have to take the whole amount out now to transfer all at once. Returns are what is the concern. Ebay fees can be paid with a prepaid card.

I have received the "claim your money" button as well. My account has a vba. Do you think I would still be able to add a working bank account, so I can at least recoup my current funds?

[Ubaida]

From experience, nothing you can do except transfer to a real bank and continue taking in sales normally. Or provide the SSN info they are asking for which is not possible since its a stealth account.

Not all new US Paypals have this issue but it's becoming very common.

@fleshyheadedmutant
You should be able to add a real bank account and get your money

[sohailirfan]

My Paypal have some funds and its saying "Claim your money". Unfortunately I don't have any real US Bank account but tried all 4 5 Global Payment Payoneer US Bank accounts and none of them worked with Paypal.

I want funds and then I can close this account but there are only 3 options available:
1) Claim your fund goes to Verify Identity (SSN ITIN ETC) which I dont have
2) Link US Bank (I have Payoneer US accounts which doesnt work anymore)
3) Send a check to address (I have friends in US to whom I can send but not sure if they will be able to cash it as friend name would be different than pp account name)

SO what can I do here? There is an option for "Instant withdrawal to card" not sure if there is any service like payoneer which offers these cards so I can withdraw.

Not anymore. 2 of my aged account were hit by same issue during pas few weeks. Worked fine for years, and requested for SSN now. Only option left is to withdraw to bank. Luckily, I was able to link Payoneer data to them. Not sure how long this will last though before they cut me off completely.

So, it seems that very soon ALL USA PayPal accounts will be limited if no valid SSN provided. We need to look for sellers of accounts with verified SSN now.

Welcome to the forum - all the best as you master stealth

3. would work because there are banks which will cash the check...as long as not crazy high amount
