So they are just stealing your money? What kind of docs do they want?
I have used google wallet to send some money, and everything run pretty good. but not sure why, I still cant connect my bank account to my google wallet.I've used it quite a few times to send money to friends when out eating or something like that. I'm not really sure how it will handle transactions and things like that though.
Damn, pretty sure I was 14 when I got my paypal account so I could be next. At least I never leave money in the account just like I'd never store it in the same cupboard I keep my badly behaved dog's food...
Google already know half of my shopping habits and my address but I will not be linking my bank with the hivemind, I trust them even less!
Don't just give up. How much do you have on your balance?around 50. not a lot, but not little :-X
$50 x how many people they do this to... I bet it is crazy. And they ask for way more **** from you why? I believe all I ever did was link a bank account. What set them off to investigate you?
This is why I was so careful with my Paypal accounts while I was under 18, and when I did turn 18 I started a completely fresh account..

I just used it to send money as usual, but they said something like it's different than my usual habit :confused: and they said they need additional information since it's a new account :confused:, my account is four or five years old already.
They first started at asking my full bank account number, phone number. and they started asking my address, photo id. and they now asking my social security card.
what the **** paypal

This sounds very strange, are you sure it's really paypal not a bored Nigerian trying to steal your identity?
Rule number 1. If you receive any correspondence asking any of the documents listed here, get their phone number and call them direct. This sounds like text book fishing scams.

Or you can do it like I do, and ignore those notifications unless you can't actually use the account. I have gotten then before and ignored every one. Never had any account with PayPal, eBay, or any other site I shop at online froze, blocked, or closed.
To the op, if you have already sent these items, I would delete all bank stuff, and close the PayPal account, along with keeping a close eye on your credit.
This is what happens when you've been on PayPal's good side, but still get flagged for running a high volume GBShow Image(http://puu.sh/ksHbf/42e74b35c9.png)
Thankfully I've got it under control ;)
Sorry this happened to you. Just in case PayPal randomly flags me I've transferred my balance to my bank account (I was supposed to do this anyways)
Pretty sure it's stuff like this that affects vendors as well, like Zeal, and I think it's just one of the reasons CTRL ALT didn't accept PayPal with the Cherokey GB
Dam I just sold a bunch of stuff on ebay and have about a Grand in Straya money waiting to clear in my paypal. But if your account is already verified with all that information then there is nothing they can really get you on is there? This is happening because these accounts didn't already have this information.
Everyone should go back to bank transfer, and avoid this kind of shenanigans.

i would say transfer all your money from pp to your bank asap.... just dont leave any money there. My account is also verified, but you know, they can simply say you account is suspicious and lock it...which is what happen to me right now :confused:

Mother pluggers, problem is I have to wait 3 weeks for the money to clear as it is ebay sales. But will transfer ASAP.
How much money are we talking about before you get flagged? If my GB hits 100 sets, plus extras, I'll probably be handling about $8K in my account. I've had my PayPal account since like 2000 or so but I've never done any kind of volume before. Does anyone have a clue whether I should be worried?

Does anyone have a clue whether I should be worried?I actually called and talked to customer service to make sure that once I collected the funds for my gb (about $3300) that there would be no issues or holds so that I could pay the invoice to sp right away. Thay way I only had a small amount that was for shipping sitting in my account.

If you're running a large scale group buy, I'd suggest you keep a floating balance of ~$500-1,000 within PayPal's wallet (to issue refunds for cancellations, etc). Withdraw every time you hit 2k or so (or as you see fit).I was planning on charging the whole order to SP on my points card, but I can't afford to float that much for 2 months, and if I end up with interest charges that defeats the purpose of earning points.

I have the money in my personal savings to cover the order, I just don't want it to come to that.If you're running a large scale group buy, I'd suggest you keep a floating balance of ~$500-1,000 within PayPal's wallet (to issue refunds for cancellations, etc).

There's also another issue with adding money to your CC so that you have "credit" on your credit card. What happens then if PP decides to limit your account on the last day, and requests for delivery confirmation (29 day deadline)? Say the order was about to be paid for, but you can't provide delivery confirmation within 29 days. You'll have to issue refunds out of your linked bank account.
Only reason I've got Zealios under control is because the whole order was paid for 2 weeks before I was limited, and the product is ready to be shipped out this week to meet PayPal's deadline requests.

Do you think I can call PayPal and ask them if I have a limit? Or is that something scammers would do to find out how much they can run off with?
I should call PayPal this week and ask if there's anything I can do to preempt issues. If not just for my sake, for everyone else as well.I have the money in my personal savings to cover the order, I just don't want it to come to that.If you're running a large scale group buy, I'd suggest you keep a floating balance of ~$500-1,000 within PayPal's wallet (to issue refunds for cancellations, etc).

Doubtful they'll tell you your limit. They probably have a pseudo credit score rating going on, and you can either slowly increase it or "ask for a higher limit" (running a GB) which requires doing a "credit check" (providing documents).
