Had to restore my computer this weekend and stupidly lost my stealth spreadsheet now am trying to lift limits on a new pp. is there anyway I can find out the original dob?

They never ask you for it so I'd just get on with life. And if you ever have to send in documents and they question the DOB, just tell them that you must have entered the wrong one on registering by accident.

Or you can tell them you purposely entered wrong to keep things secure...

Or avoid bringing more attention to the account with that type of comment.....

First bell that might go off from ebay/paypal is what else is not in order with the account.

No whats happened is i had an unverified stealth, sold something for £500 (a camera) and because i'd bought a few things before on it..paypal have limited it under the reason of recieveing £1600 or over..and it says to resolve the issue i must lift the limits..it's asking for date of birth..but i can't obviously find what i put anywhere as i lost the spreadsheets on my damn windows pc

Well you can always try using R-STUDIO to try and restore the file.

Hi, I just looked at the account been snooping around it, it is verified actually as i knew i wouldn't be stupid enough to use a unverified amount then send money there..damn I haven't been limited in ages this feels weird lol... and i entered the dob wrong so now they want documentation...everything else has a tick next to it (bank verification etc)
I'm wondering can a mod help me with this, as all details are genuine just a few letters in surname and name etc changed? Let me know as i'd be appreciative and wouldn't mind even donating back to the forum for the help

They do ask for DOB on some occasions, nearly lost an account because I made the mistake of not writing it down when I first created it. They asked for it when I kept signing in and out with different IPs in a short amount of time because my iPhone tether kept screwing up. It sucks too, because there is no way of finding it anywhere on eB or PP.

Here's what I did to get away with it, when I called in they asked for name, address, phone and DOB. I told her everything and just as I was about to tell her the DOB "My name is ---, my address is ---, my phone number is --- and my DOB is..." I hung up. Trying to make her think that maybe the phone just disconnected and it worked. Signed back on and the confirm identity page was lifted. This little trick might not work in your situation though, you're probably in too deep.

Hang up? That's a good one..
I think it's a 50-50 chance, but it's a tricky way and might work.
Will try this someday.
Thanks.
