You would think that would be againts privacy laws banks arnt allowed to give out personl info just to any one u wouldnt think.

[GreenBean]

Yeah, privacy laws count for zilch. If paypal want to find out info, they will play dirty to find it out.

Still waiting to hear which bank????

@MzGr - although your q is off of the thread (lil hi'jacker ha) Q: Question.: why are u not able to use a credit card with your own name for eB ay and pp?

You can use the credit card but name would have to be entered as the name of the eb/pp. Has to (or should be) registered to that account address.

/end of derail.

Back to the main thread - I wonder if pp is targetting specific banks and STATES with this deposit-withdraw test...

[oge]

This is very interesting I think pp is making sure that it's not a prepaid bank and withdraw can happen ..........

similar to Square as they do this procedure. They make sure they can deposit and withdraw and see the name of the account. With Square your account isn't verified unless they do the deposit and withdraw.

I think it happened to the OP randomly as they are implimenting it for the new year. This is huge no more prepaid banks unless it's the few that works or VBA and they can see the mismatching names right away.....

Sounds like something major is afoot at PP land & we are barely aware of it or have any counter measures in place....

This is scary I'm trying to get the b@lls to make my first stealth account--I don't need this right now! I guess I had better get off my butt and get going, huh? I'll let you guys know if I see the debit on my bank. Also, I just might have info on another bank that is useful for those on Chexsystems (AKA the devil LOL). I want to make sure everything is kosher though before I get everyone all excited over nothing.

Ohhhh I hope this isn't a new way to weed us out

[rsot]

With testing comes more experience - nothing to be scared of. If you fail - you redo and learn.

[Mrs_Rodz]

Well, I just had to confirm my bank account because I got a new PP debit card in the mail and I guess I have to do that before I can activate it. I will let you guys know if they do the two credits and then a debit. I hope not, because the bank account is in my husband's name so they might see a mismatched name. I know that this bank isn't picky about mismatched names, because I just got my student loan reimbursement in his account with no problems and that's in my name of course. I hope this doesn't screw me up because it is my main PP account that my clients pay me through for my freelance work--that's why the debit card is so important.

Has anyone else had debits taken out recently?

[Mrs_Rodz]

I got my two deposits today and so far no debit. I hope that's a good sign. My account is with Banco Popular.

[accutinting]

This is very interesting..I am waiting on paypal to verify 2 checking accts at woodforest 2 saving at woodforest 1 check at Citizens and 1 saving at Citizens. Keep everyone updated with outcome

[accutinting]

Sorry forgot also 1 saving account at BOA s well. let everyone know shortly

[rsot]

@Mrs_Rodz - you got a pp debit card? Interesting.

Don't worry too much about the debit - you are just beginning with new accounts - focus on that.

Yeah, I have a debit card on a PP account that I have had for probably 8+ years. I really can't afford for that one to go down. That's why I'm going stealth to sell on EB--don't want to mess with the big daddy PP account .

That is a sensible approach by the sounds of it, to protect a long standing PP CC A/C. I can see where you are now coming from with regards to stealthing as well.

[TLSunny]

I set up 3 stealth pp accounts today, one with halifax and 2 with co-operative, and all three mentions the usual 2 deposits scenario. I shall confirm everything went ok in a few days

[mississippighost]

I got this a couple of days ago with suntrust. However, not with another one a couple weeks ago. This is the only time I have run into this. Considering this thread is a couple of months old, did anyone get limited for names not matching up as a result? My last names are the same, but not the first names.

[clapclap]

Please do TLSunny i have just opened another account today also And would like to see if this has hit the UK.

We need to stop flapping about this and look for a solution. There is no doubt in my mind EB and PP are watching us on here and laughing.

One step ahead at all times.

[BigCJ]

I got hit with it on tuesday. They limited the account within one day of the account trying to be verified. my name is pretty unique though. So they saw it right away. It a pretty sneaky tactic on their part.

[clapclap]

Very sneaky..can anyone confirm if this is going to be a problem..i just hope this is going to be something that is 'over the pond' but no doubt will come our way evetually. im already thinking of a solution..

i think part of the solution is to stop being so open on these forums and just keep the info we share to what is in the stealth guide.
