Hello all,

Over the past 9 days, Paypal has asked me three (3) times to verify my account.
I have to upload a drivers license, verify transactions, send in USPS tracking
information. Twice now, I've submitted all of the info and within a few
hours, my account is back to normal.

THis morning, they have asked again and now want a copy of my bank statement,
verify more transactions with USPS tracking information.

What is going on with Paypal? Is anyone else having to deal with this? I only
use Paypal for my bricklink store. I don't transfer money all over the place
and all of my bricklink sales go into Paypal.

THanks,

CLM

Are you sure it's really Paypal asking for this info? Sounds like a bit
of a scam! I've never been asked by Paypal this level of info. Be careful.

Me neither. Probably best to phone paypal directly in order to get all the re-assurances
you need about the info they're requesting

Yeah I am logging into my account directly. I've changed my password and
there is no activity other than mine. I've also submitted this on the paypal
forums asking the same.

Maybe their computer system randomly decided to make your account subject to
their data verification?

Have you made any large transactions recently? Details would not be required,
just a yes or no.

You would be better off discussing this with PayPal. Some forum posters have
pointed out that PayPal's phone support is better. I don't know if that
would be the same experience for you.

Cheers ...
