I'm now going the PC route and have a temp computer now. Logged into my accounts all went fine. Even withdrew from one (testing my limits) after logging in with 0 cookies established and 0 history and the funds are in my account now!

No method to their madness..

I called in before with this issue and they told me to clear cookies and data , so now when it happens I'll usually just log in with a new user account or browser and it seems to not ask for verification.

Same with asking to provide a SS# , I had that recently , just logged out and back in with a new browser and it was gone, and never asked again

It is a business paypal account and no I have not made a second account to link. I am just running through the phone verifications and calling it a day. Takes 2 minutes to do both verifications...annoying hassle but after 25 minutes on the phone with them and the issue not being fixed then I say eff it.

So....again, why not just create a new account? So easy to do.

Why do I want to make a new business account for such an issue? I am still able to withdraw and I have no holds on my funds, even from ebay. And the account is a month old. Dont fix what isnt broken...in this case, its not fully broken yet. Just giving issues.

I was just trying to find out if there was an issue with creating a new PayPal account with the same info and attaching it to the old eBay account, red flags or whatnot.

The answer is apparently "no". Thanks.

Technically, each person is allowed one personal and one business paypal account. Multiple accounts can raise suspicions and get you shut down. Will it mean an automatic shut down or that you'll get flagged right away? No...but it can and does happen.

IDK. Haven't run into this issue...yet. But if it happened EVERY withdraw, I'd create a new account and be done with it. But that's me.

Has anyone been prompt and forced to do the phone verification to be able to move the money when sending funds to another Paypal account by sending money as a service or paying an invoice?

When it happens are you able to switch browsers and its fixed?

This happened to me on 2 accounts when I tried to Add a Bank account to each one.

It asked for a phone number and I gave them my tracfone #. Both of them failed.

What can I do now?

Now tell me why there is a phone verification with Firefox that has established cookies, history and cache but no verification with Chrome that has nothing established and logged into for the first time with that browser. There really is no method to the madness.

Try it yourself and report back.

So I do the phone verification and it gives me the message "you can now make a withdrawal"...so it has me put in my password again and I go back to process a withdrawal and it gives me the same verification message AGAIN. I do the phone verification again and THEN it lets me withdraw.

So to process the withdrawal, I have to do phone verification TWICE. This has happened both times I have made a withdrawal.

None of my other accounts have had this happen...of course I have had it happen when trying to add a bank account, but never to withdraw. Especially two times for every withdrawal.

Account is one month old, but it is a business account, not personal account. The number thats listed is under "work phone" since that is what it automatically made it when I created the account.

Anyone else encounter this? And is there a way around it? I am on a separate user account, keeping all cookies and history, same IP, etc. Like I said it is just this ONE account. All my others are fine. But all of my others are personal accounts. So I'm not sure...
