I received an email that says i need to send more info(ssn,photo id,& proof of address) to paypal. I don't see why it's necessary after having an account for more than 2 years. Has anyone received this on paypal before?
Are you sure the email is real? log in to Paypal from the Paypal website and not any link from that email and see if they are still asking you for the info. The only things i have ever had to do for PayPal is confirm my address.
Looks legit then, maybe they are changing policies or something? it does seem a little excessive however. Have you ever had to provide any information to Paypal in the past? I've had my Paypal account for a long time, its linked to my bank account so money will just instantly be taken out when i pay for something. I also had to verify the my land line number and the address i lived at. I have never been asked for a photo id or anything by Palpal however.
Also never been asked for ID like that by PayPal though I did get an e-mail from them saying they were changing a few things.... Perhaps their rolling out new security measures or something. If it affects me I'll probably end up not using PayPal, can't remember the last time I used it for something in a while now. Owning a credit card has it's uses
This is the first time they asked for information. You would think after many successful transactions on ebay and other online vendors they wouldn't bother people with this. I tried address verification and received this lol. I don't have any other bills to upload, oh well. I can always use paypal guest for some purchases.
