I will try again today to withdrawl and report back if it prompts me for the text/call. it may have been a pp hiccup or fluke but it would not let me withdraw as of yet.

Tag123 · #**114** 10-15-2014

Just did another withdraw, $30. Got asked to verify again. Received the phone call and verified AGAIN no problem. I am going to try another one in a few hours and I know that my modem will keep the same IP. My bet is that it will go through.

Attached is the confirmation from PP that I see when I'm done.

I cant get the call or text, still cant withdraw. message your name does not match phone.

I know most likely this will lead to ssn request as others mentioned so annoying!

Ted123 · #**116** 10-15-2014

Are you guys using a tracfone to get the verify text from paypal?

Tag123 · #**117** 10-15-2014

Well.....I tried a Withdraw again with the same IP and guess what? I still got the verification message. WTH??? I messed around a bit (trying test withdraw's and then canceling), which was stupid of me. And now I get a message when I try to withdraw to contact PP. So....I sent them an email, as I didn't have time to talk on the phone but may end up calling anyway. We'll see what happens. I'll tell you, I've given PP lots of $$$ over the years in fees (like thousands!!!) so they better have a good reason if they are going to cancel my account.

Well I tried the paypal phone call today with a pinger phone number not tracfone not something I normally do and it actually went through!!
So that was awesome and weird at the same time
I have tried pinger a few times on other account (and tracfones) with no success so I wonder what happened

Yes please let as know I have the same problem with Paypal please need help

Tag123 · #**121** 10-15-2014

So PP sent me an email back but it was just an automated response. I have to do a withdraw tomorrow so if it is still asking for verification I will have to call. I can tell you all that I was wrong, it is NOT an IP issue (at least it isn't now. It may have started out as one). They clearly have a handle on "suspect" accounts. When I log in, it still says my account is verified. There is no indication that anything is wrong unless I try to withdraw. This is crazy. One way or another I will find out what's up even if it means losing the account.

keepongoing · #**122** 10-16-2014

I agree with your opinion tag.

I believe the original alert flag on pp side came from an IP issue. and now it has led to an ongoing issue with the account that was flagged. many of the people who can get the call/text keep getting asked for it on a w/d everytime.

I believe this will eventually lead to a ssn request.

Ok, I got a response via email from an actual PP rep.

Thank you for contacting PayPal Customer Support. I am happy to assist you today.
I see your PayPal account is verified, but what is happening is our security is trying to verify that it is actually you trying to withdraw the money. This usually means our system will call you directly or send a text message with a secret code in it to verify that the actual account holder is withdrawing the money. If this is not available, the withdraw will not be processed, sort of a better safe than sorry approach. I have taken steps to ensure we are still securing your account but you should be able to initiate the withdrawal now without any trouble. I do apologize for the trouble, but assure you it was intended to protect you.
It is my pleasure to assist you. Thank you for choosing PayPal.

I never received a call FROM them. However, whatever they did, now my withdraw's are working again. I really want to reply back and ask a few more question, but I think I may leave well enough alone for now. If it happens again I'll reply directly to the email that this note was in.

Hi there by pinger I mean the pinger app which is like textplus
I have used them before and was not using them any more as I had switched to tracfone. But tracfone was not even working with those verification phone calls.
So on one account when I got that I figured ah what the heck and did pinger number and the call came thru no this number isnt registered to you stuff. So all went well.

So no UK users had this issue?
How do pp verify your phone, privacy laws in UK wont allow this surly if it stems to over here?
Not good with the pp/eb split though. Bigger pp means better security.
No issues as yet x6 UK 60% verified acts withdrawing latly anyway!

progetter92 · #**127** 10-16-2014

Kept happening to me to so I just called them spoke to a rep he asked me what i was trynna buy i told him and he took the stupid verify **** off and it worked.

I haven't had any issues when withdrawing & mines a 60% verified account as well.

They verify your phone by sending a code to your mobile or an automated call with a code. Haven't heard of anyone getting this in the UK though as of yet.

Well I've just done a small £10 withdrawal to test it. No phone verification message & it's shown completed straight away

my balance is at £19.27 now so i'm not withdrawing any more for a few days until I've sold more stock when it arrives as it is advised not to completely clean the account of funds.

keepongoing · #**132** 10-17-2014

I have emailed them 4 times about this, everytime they keep sending me some generic self help email. I cant get the withdraw lifted. my account is 100 percent verified and fine yet I cant wd because of the stupid call/text option. looks like I have no choice but to call in. other people have gotten this fixed by emailing them, but I really think pp is seriously a joke, they just respond with some help guided email....

I will report back when I call in.
