Paypal asking for phone verification

[devz]

Hi guys,

I bought 4 accounts a couple of years ago from the forums.
I logged into the PayPal account fine at first. The next day after i listed and sold a book, I then logged into PayPal only to be asked to prove the phone number.

I listed and sold an item without attaching a bank account on my Paypal account.

Is this the cause?


The problem I face is, I do not have the phone number attached on the account!

Is this now a dead account?

Thanks!

Same thing happen to me yesterday, and like you the stealth number is not active. So I clicked off and logged back on, didnt get the verify phone number on the second login. But I would like to change phone numbers that are on my account to my mobile number only, is that safe to do??

This is why I dont keep to much funds into paypal...

This is a good idea, I'll try it, thanks!

EDIT: This actually worked, I was able to access an account with $600 that had been locked as I didn't have the phone number. Thanks for that.
