Re: Paypal SSN Request For Sending "Large Payments"
Yes. Before I knew about how PayPal works, I naively sent a payment for more than $5,000 for an "off eBay" transaction. It was also blocked and they wanted more information.
Any payment facilitator will do this. Because if you are regularly sending these amounts, it represents a risk, either that there will be HUGE chargebacks, or that something illegal or shady is going on.
Most businesses, when sending such large payments, use bank wire transfers. So PayPal gets suspicious.
