Re: Paypal does not recognize my computer
 

WOW!!! This is really a wide spread issue. Actually, I'm glad I'm not the only one who got the verification message. PP must be checking up on users who withdraw a lot of $$$. I have two land lines, each linked to one of my accounts. My "primary" account is 10+ years old with my SS attached and my mobile phone and home phone number attached. My Stealth account has an EIN and another land line attached with a different address (second home I own). It is this second account that I withdraw from. Two different bank accounts too. I got the verification message on the stealth account today when I went to withdraw money.

This is ridiculous. I have tried 4 different phone numbers. Three prepaid's and one Google Voice and I keep getting the error "we could not verify you own this phone number".

Re: Paypal does not recognize my computer
 

You need to get a land line or mobile phone that is in your name. Pretty cheap to do. I think my cable company phone is only like $12/month.

Re: Paypal does not recognize my computer
 

I got it logged out. Disconnected and tried again let me withdrawal with no problems.

Re: Paypal does not recognize my computer

Just for curiosity I went to paypal and tried to withdraw to bank and viola!
it went through!!Don't know if error is fixed or because I sent money to fried or what.Hope it lasts.

Re: Paypal does not recognize my computer
 

My bet is that there is/was an bug that got introduced in PP software that does the checking for know PC MAC and IP addresses. That's why people were getting the message even though they hadn't changed anything.

Re: Paypal does not recognize my computer
 

Just an update on my end of this issue I transferred the funds out of paypal to my Barclays account and a message came up on paypal at the last minute saying it could take up to 72 hours to land in the bank, rang Barclays this morning and they have the faster payments system so should be with them by now, but it isn't, so it's held up in some way by Paypal!

Re: Paypal does not recognize my computer
 

Ok, this is definitely a bug. I just tried to withdraw again and got the message again!!!

Re: Paypal does not recognize my computer
 

I did the verification again, LOL!!! They have this messed up!!!

Re: Paypal does not recognize my computer
 

Im about to do my stealth work for the day, I missed yesterday lol
So I will keep you guys updated and see if I get anymore of these messages!

Re: Paypal does not recognize my computer
 

I think this is caused by dynamic IP addresses. My ISP does this (rather than assigning Static) it never used to be a problem but now apparently it is. Lots of ISP's use this method so my bet is there are lots of PP users in this mess.

Re: Paypal does not recognize my computer
 

Ok done with work for the day and didnt have any issues. I think it was just a glitch they were having for a little bit. Anyone else still having this issue??

Re: Paypal does not recognize my computer
 

I just experienced this as well

I sent them an email, expressing my frustration, and the next day I was able to withdraw

Re: Paypal does not recognize my computer
 

Did they reply to your email? I haven't had a need to withdraw since Friday. So I don't know if it is still an issue.

Re: Paypal does not recognize my computer
 

they replied with a generic self-help email that did not pertain to my withdraw problem

but, withdrawing worked thereafter, so they must have made the provisions

Re: Paypal does not recognize my computer
 

LOL!!! They cannot even have a real person respond.

Re: Paypal does not recognize my computer
 

That's awful! I hate generic self-help emails!

Re: Paypal does not recognize my computer
 

I have the same problem. Any work around this. Don't feel like contacting paypal.

Re: Paypal does not recognize my computer
 

Back to the same error again.Thsi sucks.Whats up with paypal?

Re: Paypal does not recognize my computer
 

Are many from the UK getting this? I withdrew on the 6th of October & today & wasn't asked to confirm anything. Both completed straight away & was in my bank within 2 hours. I only have one stealth account & i never delete cookies. Never encountered any problems. It's a 4 year old fully verified & confirmed Paypal with all limits lifted.

Re: Paypal does not recognize my computer
 

Yep, I just went to withdraw and it is giving me the account verification notice again. I guess I'll just do it again....

Something is broke for sure.
