Any idea to avoid / fix this issue. Havent get update yet.. its quit old thread here

[RedDevil®]

I still get messages about how to fix this and since I rarely log in anymore I am going to post the method I used. Hopefully it will help some members. I haven't tried this in about 2 years but it should still work.


Step 1:

Call PP and tell them you have changed your phone number and that you would like to update it, give them a new number you have and once they update it say thanks and hang up.

Step 2:

Wait 15-20min call PP again and tell them you are trying to make a $8 dollar purchase on eBay or etsy etc and that its asking you to verify the account by phone but its giving you the option to call or text your old phone that you have no access too anymore, the agent will then look at your account remove the lock and tell you to try and make that purchase again. (important) If you don't want to buy anything just tell the agent your sister took your laptop to starbucks or whatever and that if you can try later, the agent will then tell you sure that the problem is fixed and sometimes they will tell you that they will personally monitor your account to make sure the purchase goes through. Try it again in 30min and if it doesn't work call again but this time "DO" try to buy something inexpensive just to make sure the lock on the account is removed.

Fixed it with 6 accounts.

No I had to end up sending the money to another one of my Paypal accounts and trashing that one.

I use free Apps Text+, TextNow, And others, and as long as I keep that number whenever I need to verify whether it eBay or PayPal it always works, with the Apps $1.99 you start a subscription which is every year u automatically pay $1.99 and you will retain the number forever, very important to keep the number used to create your stealth accounts from now on

Yea I have 20 phone numbers for about 8 years now. OMG I have been here that long. Time flies! LOL!

You must keep and maintain the original phone number you used to create the Paypal account or this message will appear.
