PayPal banned 12 years ago - can I just make another now?

I doubt editing will cover up the original SSN - that info is easily stored. I hope there are no funds in that account - right?

Would this screw me? Has anyone else done a new account after 12 years with the same name/SSN but everything else different?

When did you give them the SSN?

if it's many years ago like 12 y, you should give it a try and make another account with all your legit info.

When Paypal was the payment processor on Ebay,Ebay did not ask for your SSN,as it expects Paypal to

Yeah, I gave it to them like 12 years ago. I created a new one with all legit info, but left off the SSN. I can probably take in $600 bucks a year without giving it to them, but once I hit the $600 amount I'm probably screwed.

I also hope that editing the SSN on the old account didn't cause a red flag when putting it into the new one.

And lastly, my PayPal ban was when they were with eBay so a ban on one resulted in a ban on the other. I was eBay banned, but PayPal's ban came along for the ride.

On the original account? Oh, I got my money out of that account back 12 years ago. It's been zero since.

iT COULD depend on what you plan to do with your new Paypal account,what you sell and size and numbers of payment received ?
It is odd to go back to a banned account 12 years ago to change the SSN?

Good that the balance is zero - and yes all info is stored from day 1 by default

Not much - I created a new eBay and that worked, which I directly payments directly to my bank account so no PayPal there.

Mostly using it for some payments, but 99% taking in money from Beermoney sites (about $100-$600 a month). Then fairly immediately moving that to my bank account.

Ok, so that's a long time ago.

If I were you I'd try to make a new account based on your real info.

Then make extra accounts per stealth guide way.

I created the real account using stealth - new IP, new address, different PC, new bank accounts, new phone #, new email (it was 12 years ago so have legit all new info anyways).

But are you saying to input my SSN #, the same one on the 12 years ago banned account? That's where I'm worried.

And if I do create a stealth account, how do I get a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ SSN for it? That's the hold up for me.

[agent006140]

You dont have much of a choice,there is no such thing as stealth SSN,use your own and hope it works.
or do not use Paypal,use AMZN pay or Apple Pay or google PAY,there is also Propay if they are still around

So you can't just buy a PayPal anymore that will pass SSN? Or do you just need to buy an account from outside the US?

I'm saying use all your real info including SSN to make a new account.
My guess is it will pass.

I'm going to wait until after Jan 1, since I won't hit the threshhold in 2024 at this point. Once I do that I'll try in the new year. I'll keep you all posted.

Buying a PP that will pass SSN is pretty illegal so it's beyond the forum account services I'd bet - you'll have to scour the web.

Buying an account from outside the US could work...

[agent006140]

Someone bought a Paypal account which comes with SSN on this forum,he sold something,IRS moved in swiftly and seized the $$.
Getting a non US Paypal account may work,and you can link a US bank account but does Paypal check to see if the names match?

Tough to link a US-based bank account to non US pp account these days...I am going to try a Canadian account to be tied to a US bank account this week hopefully

[agent006140]

I recalled Paypal back then has a policy ,for US expatriates who moved to a foreign country.he can link a US bank account to his foreign Paypal account.
Since Paypal is US based,this is no big deal.
There is something different with the way clearance is conducted between our central Bank (Federal Reserve) and Canadian Central Bank than with other foreign banks,I dont recall the details,you may be able to find more information by googling.
But I think Canadians can link a US bank account with his Paypal account,let us know.
I know there was a time Canadian used car buyer will drive across the border and meet with his US seller in a bank parking lot,then go inside the bank and complete the transaction.
I know at one time,Canadians will cross the border to buy cigarettes,some sellers will drive to Niagara Falls USPS post office and ship her dvd as domestic media mail,keeping the difference .

[rsot]

I was able to link US bank account easily with Canadian pp years ago but I haven't needed to do that until recently for new business division purposes

Sounds good.

In the mean time make a few back up stealth paypal accounts
