odd paypal doc check

[ebaywanton]

Hi, my paypal account is aged and has great history and has passed all doc checks. Today, paypal asked for proof of address and identity. Pretty random.

Is this odd or regular? I know its not because of a spike in sales as i received no email, it was just in my pay pal notifications.

Something about your activity triggered this. Its never completely random with paypal. Something must have happened that was out of the ordinary.

They may be doing a sweep of accounts.

Agreed - some security flag has been tripped up - have you been getting a lot of international buyers lately?
