Am I Missing Something...?
 

Okay, I've been in this stealth game since 2014. Back when I was a kid, I think in 2009 I had a real eBay and Paypal account. That was when I believe I gave them my social (Paypal).

After I got suspended for being a idiot and not paying fees and doing dumb things I got suspended for both accounts. Created a bunch of new accounts under real name and variations and had no idea what I was doing. Until I learned how to actually create accounts on here in 2014. I know I could have fixed my real old eBay account if I paid all the fees for the numerous accounts I made...

What I just did because I have really nothing to lose was recreate an account under my legal name. I'm speaking specifically on Paypal. Since 2009 I was living with my parents, across the country (USA). I live many states away now, but of course SSN is a linkage I know.

But I created the account, just to go one step further I applied for the debit card which is going to be sent it appears. I will update my passport in my account to give it more credibility... but would I NOT have been automatically restricted if the SSN is still somewhere in their system? I am speaking with the debit card, because I tested this on stealths I had where I put my EIN and automatically got restricted because my info could not be verified.

Is it POSSIBLE that since this happened so long ago, its a non issue? Since I never gave eBay my ID, they have all my old information from where I used to live, etc. If and when I get the audit from them I know I can pass it without strong enough linkage since so many things have changed and I know what to do and not to do on this account...

Any advice or thoughts is much appreciated. Getting a real account I would think is a lot of peoples hopes on here. Especially with stealth being less viable in the future, at least how things stand now. Maybe this gives hope to some. I don't know.
