date of birth paypal
 

I opened a new premier Paypal account at my new address a couple of weeks ago. (really a belt and braces move in case the old account becomes compromised) It has now been verified. My old account at my old address is still going strong. Neither are stealth. Bank accounts etc are different. My name is the same. I changed date of birth. Once verified I gave more info to raise limits. Now they say the info they have doesn't match. Reading earlier posts it seems they can't verify your date of birth. Could it be that I have to change the account to busines from premier before completing the information or is there a more ominous reason?

from experience they cant verify your dob from public records (well im sure they can but they dont)

I changed date of birth.

That's probably what is causing you problems...big security flag.

how did you change your date of birth, out of interest?

No, I wasn't making myself clear.

New address;new Ebay account; new Paypal account; new credit card; new bank account; new date of birth. The only thing which is the same as my current ebay and paypal account is my name. The account has been verified with two deposits and that, apparently, gives me unlimited purchases but only annual sales of £1900. To increase the limit I went through a further process with the direct debit mandate, then confirmation of personal details. That is the point when they said there was a discrepancy. Do you think they have connected with my other account? If I had some idea what the discrepancy was I would try again

If I settle for the £1900 pa to avoid making waves, at what point do they increase the limit, when, and by how much?

they have tried to verify your personal details using public records which as you have a "new" address has failed

thats the discrepancy

you will need do it again and they will ask for docs to be sent

then send them

That would do it, but what sort of docs? Although this will be a non-stealth account how would a stealth account overcome this?

im sorry how is it a none stealth account if as you quote

New address;new Ebay account; new Paypal account; new credit card; new bank account; new date of birth

I think he is saying it is non - stealth as he is using his real name on PP and EB, so that won't make it Stealth.

Bank account and others will be in his real name

I have physically moved address but retained the old account. So everything is true except for my age.

That's the reason for the discrepancy.

I would put my real DOB and when they ask for docs you can send them the real ones

Then create a new account - Stealth completely

i would say if youve recently moved house then your not on the electoral roll yet which is why it failed

can you clarify that please ?

you retained your old eb or pp and changed the address and dob ?:boink:

I think that is what he meant.....

I can understand the change of address by why just change the DOB? Unless your name is common like John Smith

i disagree

same name AND same DOB would link them both together

might get away with the name if its common but name and dob your asking to be burnt

Same Name and DOB will LINK him...YES but if everything else is the same then he is creating another account with all the same details and there is no need to create another PP.

If he is creating another PP with those details then yes he will be LINKED

Sorry might of confused you

I'm beginning to confuse myself! Just proves how newbie I am at this stealth business. My 1st account has been running successfully selling what I think you term "low risk" branded clothes. I have just changed address but kept my 1st account at the old address and still trading it. Now I want to raise a 2nd account as a backup using the new address just in case I get veroed. I figured it would be a good idea to give a different age so as to throw them off the scent. I agree I' m not on the electoral role yet. It depends now upon what docs they ask for. If it's a rent agreement, or council tax bill then no problem.

Just to clarify, it's a NEW ebay and NEW paypal account

it will be one of those plus a driving licence or passport

cant send your passport as youve got a new DOB

same problem with your DL

OK that's buggered it, end of story. So how would a stealth account work then?

I would suggest you contact PP and state that you are a new to this and didnt know you needed One PP for 2 EB accounts. Change it so that you have 2 accounts to one PP all in your real infor, Its only the DOB that's different and am sure they will understand that.

Then if you want another account everything will have to be new, No links to any of your other accounts.
