Was finally able to get money stuck in Paypal out
Had one stealth account with several hundred feedback in it I hadn't sold on for several months. When I started selling again on it during the holidays, I had to change phone # (GV expired) and debit card on file was no longer active so I deleted that one (that card was how I was getting money out as I had no bank account attached months previous). Lastly, the IP address had changed (another VPN). Made several hundred dollars during that time.
When I tried to add bank account #, I kept getting error 'Please try again later'. Whenever I tried to add debit card # I always received error "we can't confirm it's you'. This had been going on for the last 10 weeks.
I wrote to Paypal several a dozen times with same response from agents: we can't help you, please call Paypal. Only problem is this is stealth female account. Had to get software to change male voice to female.
I fared no better calling in as agents said account had to 'reset' Several calls later one agent told me to try to cash out at Walmart with phone and code using Paypal app. I was skeptical as I needed phone AND I.D. to cash out.
So several days ago I switched Ip address on phone (never used it though to log into Paypal). I downloaded app and logged in and was on my way to Walmart to try and get money out.
Before I left, I tried entering debit card again after several dozen attempts but on Paypal app on phone this time and it worked! I quickly withdrew money in instant transfer and it is now in my bank account. All the writing and calling with no agent able to help and was simply able to do it instantly over Paypal app on phone. Huh.
