found some old accounts
 

And i didnt log any of the personal details down unfortunately. Is there anyway i can find out what the DOB is for these accounts before they ask me it at the verfication stage.

If it aint possible do you guys think its best to just leave the old accounts and concentrate on new ones? FWIW i'm on ebay.co.uk

Is it ebay or paypal? I can tell you how to find the dob in PayPal

Just ebay. I dont have paypal accounts yet.

Can anyone help me please?

I've never had to give ebay my DOB for verification.

Surely when we need to fax in our details they will check it then???

yeah they ask for dob. I did live chat before and they asked for it so its best to have this if u can get it.

Please, tell the class.

Is this a joke or do you want me to tell you how to find the DOB in PayPal.


It depends on how the account was setup. Because if it was setup as a personal account then the DOB isn't in the PayPal account unless you set it up through ebay. But you can add the DOB in there if it's not in there. If you want me to post it then I can otherwise I could give an answer in the pm's.

You can tell me in PM or you can post it here. Just so happens I have some old PP accounts which I don't remember all the details for and were created before I actually started keeping good records. The DOB on those accounts is still blank in my information, since I don't remember those. It would be nice if I could retrieve that info and complete my records.

Just go to Profile then click person/business information. You will see the DOB in there. If you don't then you can enter it manually by clicking edit but then you have to answer all the questions about what you are selling etc. Any other questions please ask.

Odd. I just logged in to an old one, and it's not there. Maybe that data field only exists on newer accounts? The account I logged into was created back in 1999.

But hey, thanks for the info. Maybe it will work on a couple of the others I still have to check on.

Just found a topic on the ebay forum and someone says that alot of DOB have been reset by the system in error or something.

I will go into live chat and see if they ask me my DOB. I might aswell just rattle off any old DOB and see what happens.

I'm not finding the info on ebay or paypal. On paypal site, I can see the date the account was created, but no info about the date of birth for the person/business itself.

What I mean is: I can find the account registration dates, but not the physical birthdate infos.

Not on any of the accounts? What happens when you click on profile then person/business information? If its blank then that means you have to put it in yourself this wasn't required a few years ago or if you open a personal account then it will not show.

On one, it is blank. On the others I've checked (roughly a dozen), it gives the date the account was originally registered.

Lol maybe you used that as a DOB because the account creation date is under the I'm verified link does both of them match up? I'm just trying to help as you got me stumped a little.

Maybe the accounts I'm checking happen to be before birthdate was asked, and therefore PP system automatically just put something in.

I'll try it with some newer accounts over the weekend.
