PayPal DOB
 

Hi,

Got myself in a little situation, basically I've just verified a stealth paypal account, and the only limit left is the 1900 receiving limit. So I go to fill this info in, and it asks for my DOB. This is the problem, I cannot for the life of me remember what DOB I entered when I set the account up. I know I used the same one for both the ebay and PP accounts, and the year is 1965, but that's it. I am worried about entering the wrong one as they will see this as fishy no doubt. I am a fool for not writing it down, but is there any way on eBay or PP that I can see what it has registered? Another point is that I remembered from old accounts if you upgrade to premier it gives you an option to add more details about the business, one of these fields is DOB, so I upgraded but the field says not provided? I am pretty sure PP always asks for a DOB upon account creation. Any advice on how to proceed? Maybe the check will fail as usual for stealth and we'll have to get "creative".

Thanks in advance

Just put in a dob (best guess) for the "confirm identity". The key is to make sure your docs have this same dob.

It will work as you could have made an error when you signed up.

Btw, you do not give ebay your dob on signing up, only paypal.

I created Paypal accounts where no DOB was required, for me when premier DOB, when creating business Paypal was asked

He/She made the paypal in the UK so different rules apply. Cant really compare US with UK paypal rules.

Part of the OP's issue is that the UK has anti-money laundering regulations in place.

To lift these limits, documentation is needed. A DOB is thus required.

Hence, the need to keep records of all things.

:ranger:

two paypal accounts i registered recently did not ask me for a DOB. UK paypal accounts, very weird. I have noted in my files for the future that there has been no DOB asked for incase i am racking my brains further down the line trying to remember it.

Business or Premier?
