PayPal asking for more information
 

Hi,

I managed to get a PayPal account setup last year using a different name etc. Managed to verify it a couple of weeks ago using a new bank but didn't know anything about the £2500 yearly limit on it before you have to provide PayPal with more details about yourself.

I've provided them with everything apart from the bit where I actually need to verify my details lol. The account is in a different name and I know from experience when you submit that information and it is wrong they will quickly ask for things like ID etc.

I'm guessing they do a credit check of some sort to verify your name etc.

Any way of getting past this? It would be a shame to lose this account seeing as I used a new bank account on it. I've got 133 days left to provide them with the details, but I only have about £500 receiving limit before they limit it anyway.

Thanks

If you are on the countdown, you will need to provide them with what they are asking for.

Usually a driving license and utility bill. It must match your account details exactly. Theb you better hope and pray that they pass.

Lots of issues with paypal uk at the moment. It is a bad time for stealth.

Re: PayPal asking for more information
 

Try and avoid the DL

Re: PayPal asking for more information
 

But surely if they ask for that stuff I have no chance anyway? It's not even my real name on the account.

Re: PayPal asking for more information
 

Always workarounds, OP.

;)

Re: PayPal asking for more information
 

Any advice please lol?

Re: PayPal asking for more information
 

Just for clarification OP, account is or is not limited?

Re: PayPal asking for more information
 

£2500 limit?/

that's new... so have they Increased this now they are 'free from ebay'

or is the yearly limit still £1950...

Re: PayPal asking for more information
 

Still £1900 or whatever random amount they put on each account (£1953.05)...;)

Re: PayPal asking for more information
 

thing is the OP might have been thinking of EU2500.

Hope he can clarify what platform he is using for sure.

:violin:

Re: PayPal asking for more information
 

Why avoid DL? From memory options are DL, Passport, National ID or Government ID.

Interested to hear why one would be weaker than the other :noidea:

Re: PayPal asking for more information
 

It won't be because any of them are weaker, the driving licence would be much more difficult to 'create' because of the layout and the security details within real driving licences

Re: PayPal asking for more information
 

Account is not limited, they are just advising me to confirm my personal details - which there is no point me confirming because none of it is real. I have 130 days to do this otherwise they will limit my account - at the moment I am still able to withdraw funds to my bank.

They said I have reached 1800euros in the last year, and it's getting close to the 2500 euros I am allowed to have, or something similar.

Re: PayPal asking for more information
 

This is the message I get when going into paypal:

Here is a screenshot of the info they want:

And if it makes any difference at all, I don't use eBay, I only use paypal to receive payments from web design clients.

Re: PayPal asking for more information
 

This is normal for paypal when you are reaching, or have passed, the EU Money Laundering Limits. If you complete the form online with your stealth details, it will fail. Do it a second time, and it will fail. Then you will have to upload Documents as Proof of Identity.

Re: PayPal asking for more information
 

Just fill it in same as the details you created paypal/eby in and get ready to provide id

when you get to this point, you need to be creative and knowing how to use an editing program like Photoshop Gimp, snag it really helps.

Failing that there are people around that could help you.

One thing to really note here , is if the last name on the paypal account matches the one on the card you add to the account and the post code matches up, then it passes this point.

It does not mean you wouldn't have to provide id at a later date though.

Re: PayPal asking for more information
 

pretty sure this is incorrect....

Re: PayPal asking for more information
 

Not necessarily. In some circumstances it would work.

Re: PayPal asking for more information
 

for stealth?

I assume op is referring to the VCC attatched to paypal?


ive never had the PP "online id check' pass even with a 'confirmed vcc' attatched in paypal.... always fails and requests docs?

Re: PayPal asking for more information
 

It would need to be a bank issued card so technically the account would not be fully stealth.

Re: PayPal asking for more information
 

majority of stealth accounts are not true stealth anyway.

I mean most Paypal (Stealth accounts) have a bank accounts attached that links them to the real person so adding a cards neither here or there.

Re: PayPal asking for more information
 

Really? Don't think I can agree with this. :suspicious:

Re: PayPal asking for more information
 

As expected the personal information couldn't be verified and they have requested ID and proof of address.

Re: PayPal asking for more information
 

:noidea:

Its facts so if you agree or not is besides the point.



take your time and don't rush, Hope you get a result.

Re: PayPal asking for more information
 

A account can use a bank account and be stealth.

PayPal cannot see the details associated with the bank account.

You may be confusing being stealth with trying to be anonymous. Very different things.

Re: PayPal asking for more information
 

What are you talking about ?

I know paypal can see details of a bank account in certain circumstances and not in general

but that has nothing to do with adding a debit or credit card so there for has nothing to do with what I mentioned.

im not confusing anything , I think it might be you who is getting confused.

Re: PayPal asking for more information
 

Can you then just clarify what you are trying to say with regards adding bank/debit cards in your own name?

'I mean most Paypal (Stealth accounts) have a bank accounts attached that links them to the real person so adding a cards neither here or there.'

Re: PayPal asking for more information
 

it was a reply to ebayorbust in regards to a comment I made on the first page.

Re: PayPal asking for more information
 

That wasn't my question. I was after you clarifying and qualifying your comment.

Re: PayPal asking for more information
 

not but the answer to your question was in my first post in this thread ,so if you read it you would know already.

Re: PayPal asking for more information
 

I have read the thread, but you still have not answered my question, nor does your first post.

Unless you have a very, very common name, the chances of having two people completely unrelated in the exact same postcode is rather remote. A street with just 60 houses may have 2 different postcodes. Now if you have had an account limited which had you registered in, for example, CR3 6TF and you try to operate another account with the same surname from the same postcode and link a 'real' debit card how long do you think this account will last?

Re: PayPal asking for more information
 

realdeals is correct -

a. You haven't answered the question;
b. You ARE confusing being stealth with being anonymous!! ..FACT

Re: PayPal asking for more information
 

I have a couple of questions if someone doesn't mind answering them. I'm going to get a couple of stealth accounts running and I did purchase the ebay stealth guide a few years back but lost my password to download it.

1) If people are running multiple stealth accounts, how are they getting their new IPs? Are they using a VPN or something?

2) If your stealth accounts are fully verified, where are you getting these new bank accounts from? Surely people aren't actually getting a new current account every time?

Thanks

Re: PayPal asking for more information
 

Sir name does not really matter tbf, its the post code that counts


so what im saying is .

if you add a card attached to a real bank, not VCC and the post code matches that in paypal it will pass this point without the need to provide id, Fact.

adding a card is nether here nor there if you have added a bank account to a paypal account then adding a bank card make no difference to how stealth the paypal account is, Fact.

So that fact that you disagree or not is besides the fact it works regardless of what you say.

Re: PayPal asking for more information
 

most people I would say use dongles and log i.p addresses so not to use the same i.p address on more than one account.


yes they are getting new accounts, either current , basic bank account or savers accounts.

Re: PayPal asking for more information
 

Do you know if this works for things like "cash plus business" accounts - I am assuming these count as "real" bank cards as opposed to VCC?

Re: PayPal asking for more information
 

Cash plus used to work fine , just like normal debit cards but I have not used them for a few years so cannot be 100% sure.

Re: PayPal asking for more information
 

Cash Plus is Co-op bank I believe, I have a co-op bank account at the moment that I am going to add to a PayPal, LMG your VCC confirms your stealth details to PayPal who cannot see your real details in your bank, you add your real bank account to verify your real bank account number to Paypal, they only the account number not the name or anything to do with that

Re: PayPal asking for more information
 

Don't go over your EU limits before you provide ID. NEVER EVER do that.

Re: PayPal asking for more information
 

I have gone over the EU limits loads of times before ID is provided. All that happens is that the account will get limited for a short while. Simply a case of providing ID after having gone over the EU limits and the limiation will be removed.

Never had any issues and it means I get the most out of an account just in case the ID fails.
