Re: Paypal does not recognize my computer
 

FWIW, probably not much, the one who gave me static yesterday and didn't put my transfer through sounded Irish. The one who took the phone verify nonsense off today sounded American.

Re: Paypal does not recognize my computer
 

UPDATE.

I have processed 3 withdrawals this week without being asked to verify.

Re: Paypal does not recognize my computer
 

Very Gud to hear.

Re: Paypal does not recognize my computer
 

Remember a few days ago when the nice lady lifted the security verify after i called in? Tried to make a very small w/d again tonight and got the same phone verify crap again. Don't even know what to say at this point. If they are removing the security check then adding it again...

same ip, same cookies, same everything

Re: Paypal does not recognize my computer
 

what bank are you using?

Re: Paypal does not recognize my computer
 

Has nothing to do with the bank used.
Has everything to do with Paypal's system.
Some people find that the IP address is the issue.
I myself think its a combination of factors including the history of the account as it associates with one single IP address used.
but with paypal who can really tell.

Re: Paypal does not recognize my computer
 

bank is most certainly a factor
Metabank/prepaid bank users are experiencing this more than major banks
do some research

Re: Paypal does not recognize my computer
 

I use several Prepaid's but have yet to get this error.

Re: Paypal does not recognize my computer
 

yeah it's tied to metabank, guess that's what's causing the problem

Re: Paypal does not recognize my computer
 

Actually that's not necessarily the case.
Again - The bank used is NOT a factor. Don't be fooled.
Plenty of people use prepaids and do NOT have an issue.

Re: Paypal does not recognize my computer
 

Having the same issue, except it came when I tried to transfer to another account not w/d.. & of course my phone # "doesn't appear to be registered in my name".. Any way around this without calling them? & if i do have to call, what type of public database questions do they ask? I've had this account since 2001 & moved/changed phone #'s/etc several times since then. I want to make sure I have any info they need ready to get this over with asap.

Re: Paypal does not recognize my computer
 

Dear! last some days, I called pp, and said with them about my withdraw it request a security check by phone number , the first they couldn't find reason , after they said with me , my phone is confirmed with my card and my info and said i logout and login back but i couldn't withdraw .
then they give me a withdraw link and said me repeat ... couldn't withdraw.
the end they said will confirm my computer with paypal . and i can withdraw my money.
i hope some my info will help everybody

Re: Paypal does not recognize my computer
 

Like I said - nothing to do with the bank.
Theres various reasons for this happening as you can see.

Re: Paypal does not recognize my computer
 

Well another guy confirmed that his major-bank accounts were not getting the request and ALL of his prepaid/metabank accounts were.

and, as we saw again above, blockhead had metabank.

stop spreading false information. Having the prepaid options INCREASES the probability for this verification request. Doesn't mean its guaranteed, its just more probable

Re: Paypal does not recognize my computer
 

It is you who is spreading false info friend.
People here are telling you that theyre facing the same problem with regular banks.
I am one of them as it happened to me twice with the bank being BOA.
So before you chime in get your facts straight. Plenty of other posts in this very thread back me up and contradict what you say directly. I understand youre trying to one-up me but don't do it at the expense of the other forum members and feeding them false information.

Re: Paypal does not recognize my computer
 

So far since last week I have had no issues with withdrawals.

Also, FYI, I have a regular bank and was still getting the verification request for some time until last week as stated above.

Re: Paypal does not recognize my computer
 

Chrome and FF change all the time and this could deleting your cookies or changing something I just stick with internet explore and I have never had this problem. I do use a e-commerce software that only runs on Chrome or FF and it varies month to month on what browser I use. I know it may sound weird but when ever I call in to the tech team who host the program they always blame it on a update that Chrome or FF just did. Hope this helps.

Re: Paypal does not recognize my computer
 

This is my first time getting this after reformatting my computer. Windows update really screwed me.

Re: Paypal does not recognize my computer
 

Just had this happen on an account tonight. Going to try the e-mail route first and see where that takes me.

Re: Paypal does not recognize my computer
 

Just had this happen when I attempted to add bank acct to acct. said they coudnt recognize my computer and had to verify me by phone. 1. tried text method via major carrier cell with correct zip and didn't work. 2. tried landline home phone option and still didn't work.

Re: Paypal does not recognize my computer
 

If someone offered phone verification options for PP on this forum like the landline PP verification that would be amazing. Huge need for it. I use one site when I need to get landline home phone verification for pp but its hit or miss n recently all miss.
Would be great to have someone in marketplace who offered that unless sum1 already does and I just missed it, if so LET ME KNOW!

Re: Paypal does not recognize my computer
 

my accounts are able to accept calls to verify the request to add a bank

Last night I set up a new personal stealth I had sitting for a week and received the same call/text verification request as well.

I believe the issue with that one is having no cookies, as I had none after letting it sit a week. Start experimenting with having daily logins for week before adding it, two weeks, etc and we may be able to land on the timeframe needed
