When in 2011 will paypal require us to give out SSN#?

Well we are way off topic here. But BBB is meaningless. They are way worse than PayPal. I received money from a guy who somehow broke their TOS. Selling VCCs or something. Now I have $1800 locked up that I have to take legal action to get. They give no reason. Just the same cut and past reply: fraudulent buyer, we take security serious, blah blah, blah. Nothing to do with me, but because my account touched his, mine gets frozen. no 180 days, just frozen. And dont let based in Canada fool you. I did some research and its really setup from Israel. And they have been locking accounts and moving funds from receivers account and sending back to sender without any action or contact from either. Months later too. Just before they locked my account they reversed a large payment i sent back to my account, then locked it. I had to pay receiver again... They will be gone within a year, either on the run with people cash or in jail. Google alertpay scam and I imagine you will get some hits. But again, way off topic

You could always prove transaction was never completed, but in the grand scheme I have to think cash sales on ebay are pretty rare anyway. I have to imagine they are looking for sellers with 100K in unreported sales or what ever. Big fish 1st would be my guess.

Sorry, I forgot about the different countries! But it sounds like they are much more strict in Canada.

Aspkin, why do you think things will remain the same.
