Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

Yes because USA is now communists....Guess all great countries turn to sh1t eventually. In the end the SSN thing will fvck them lol and will create a demand in a better system. I mean ebay should just do what mercari or poshmark are doing, but wait oh wait i forgot paypal are legal criminals keeping everyones money for interest for 6 months. THATS THE REAL FVCKING FRAUD.

I agree far more accounts are getting it now but I don't see it impacting any of my older accounts. I haven't seen this touch the accounts I use in my own rotation - then again theyre going on 7 years now. Even if it did I only full the funds to my bank account anyway.
As for paying fees and all that - why not just set the default source of funding to your bank account and avoid having to use a card or a balance? Is that not an option? use your bank account for everything and the impact of this is minimized - at least for anyone with a US based bank account.

They didn't ask me anything when I transferred to TransferWise.

>> PayPal email: bank activity
>> PayPal email: bank removed
>> PayPal email: transfer is processing
>> received today on Transferwise.

I am baffled by everyone having trouble paying fees. I went through each account and I can testify to the fact that while I do have a decent amount of accounts rolling over to the "claim it" feature, I am still able to automatically have PayPal fees deducted from my PayPal balance.

yah i think most of us have this now

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

World is ****ed up because US PayPal - the most regulated country in the world requires SSN.

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

I have tried on them all, be CAREFUL paying fees and shipping.

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

For those that are getting payments from people, is this thru ebay listings?

Reason I ask is I accepted 4 payments.....$35 (non ebay listing), $125, $500, $220 (from ebay listings).

And the $35 was the one that got the “claim” notice. This was in the past 48 hours...verifying your account will fix this (dont matter if its seasoned or not).

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

I guess I've been doing it all wrong all these years. I assumed that paypal wouldn't like it if we moved money out of our accounts too quickly. So I always left money in paypal for a while before withdrawing it. So it wouldn't look like I was trying to get away with something. Now I know better.

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

Verifying it with what exactly? If it is a stealth account, the details aren't real. And yes I confirmed it with bank account and credit card so those are confirmed?

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

Accounts used to become fully verified once you added your business name and EIN. Is that not the case anymore? Do they still want a SSN even if you upgrade to business?

That used to be the workaround for becoming "tax ID verified".

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

I just upgraded an account that had the "Claim It" feature to a business account, and once upgraded to a business they are still doing something similar to Claim It where they request business tax documents in order to allow you to keep/spend the balance. But they will allow you to transfer the funds to your bank. Basically the same as when you have Claim It on a personal account.

I need to review the account again, as I am not 100% sure if they were requesting SSN info.

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

Well, that gives me some hope I guess.

Wouldn't it be relatively easy to provide those tax documents since you're no longer working with a stealth account once you've upgraded?

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

Does anyone know what they request when you go to confirm info?

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

From what I've read here, SSN + DOB.

Don't quote me though.. just trying to help.

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

Yes it didnt seem like it would be too much of a problem. Again not sure if they are asking for SSN or not, need to review the account again when i have a chance.

Also im not sure if they are doing this for biz accounts that already exist, or just new accounts that are just now being upgraded

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

Thats what I'm thinking. But if they ask for DOB and SSN then thats an issue..

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

Verified with bank account, this was a seasoned account that got the claim notice.

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

YUP, thats correct. It use to be fully verified if you added a business name and EIN but....if you list slow and I mean slow then you wont have any issue. I am testing out some stuff on multiple accounts and hit no issue with it when listing slow. On another I listed fast and the account got hit right away.

Re: ALL PayPal Accounts Now REQUIRE "Claim Money"
 

can you elaborate on how slow you mean? My account is 7 months old and I've sold $10 the first month (2 items), $20 the third month (2 items), $50 the 4th (2 items) and $220 between the 5th-6th month (3 items). I wanna get ramped up but I'm scurrrrd lol
