Paypal id verification

[gapyear]

I have set up a new paypal account...something very strange is happening...I set one up in my hubbys name, no trouble what so ever...but then tried my in my sons name, and that is totally different...I think paypal are actually checking who you are...maybe by some kind of electoral register...everything is correct apart from my sons age which I lied about...obviously they are checking who you are...as I said may be electoral register, or even credit scoring...but something very fishy is going on....

Some required information is incorrect. Please correct your information and try again.

That is the message i am getting, everytime they check the info...evrything is correct apart from my sons date of birth.

I think I will be able to help you with this in a couple of days. This issue has been happening for about 2 weeks to the best of my knowledge.

As soon as I have a way that works consistantly I will let you know.

Two points: NEVER get angry with paypal GET EVEN Never close an account in haste.

As Neo said, there's a problem. It is being looked at & checked. If possible don't make any accounts for the time being.
