No doubt there will come a day when Paypal will require this on all accounts but at the moment they do not ask for selfies when using desktop computers for creation and usage.

Users created accounts via PC. Why are you arguing if you don't even know what you're talking about? You did not receive limits yesterday/today. Once you get it you will see what I'm talking about

Lol.

I made 6 accounts this morning on a PC. No limitations or requests for selfies.

Who specifically has made an account on a PC is getting this? Every instance that I've read, the person made the account on a phone.

Anyway, you crack on my man. Dont let me stop you. Selfies and creative docs arent that difficult to do.

Can you send a picture of what it’s showing on pc? Maybe we can understand better?

You should prob listen to the mod, if this was widespread the forum would be going crazy.

Agreed. I think there is perhaps a communication issue / misunderstanding with the OP.

Getting same issue since a week ago. Accounts created on desktop getting the new ID verification, have never logged in from a phone. Only get it when account gets limited after big tx. I can disable all the webcams, issue persists. Well, they allow you to manually upload the images, only issue is getting matching drop faces

Ok. Thanks for clarifying.

Selfie images are fairly easy to do so not a real problem. It just takes a bit more time to do. The main thing is that the live video capture can be bypassed.

What country paypal was this on?

Estonia. Uploading the selfie part gives me error tho, not sure how to solve it. might be a bug on their side

If it's a new security measure then likely will be a bug. Did you check your image against their requirements? There's usually minimum and maximum image sizes.

On the accounts I've created today, I will confirm identity on them tomorrow. It will be interesting to see if that process has been changed or if it will remain the same.

Please update forum, I will be setting up tomorrow as-well.

And how are you getting limited after only setting up in a day? Is there a way to verify ID without limitation?

Yes, there is.

And just to add, the identity confirmation process on UK Paypal remains unchanged (for now). This was on a newly created account.

This right here.

I can't recommend enough for you to just follow the stealth guide and use a normal PC to make your accounts...

Don't use mobile devices, OP

Any experience with DE accounts? Does it ask new id verification as well?

Can confirm, I dont get it as well anymore. Hope they dont do it again

[SaiJin]

it's either a testing phase or they just upped the sweeping bot for the holidays. I hope it's just the later.

[Jband0]

Maybe my account was made during the testing phase but I am still encountering the live scan problem.

[jayarghh]

Anybody know a way past the live face scan issue yet?

Looking like the end of days 💀
