To preface, I don't have a bank account or credit card, I'm a 19 year old student living as a dependent with my parents. Yesterday I saw something I wanted on eBay, so I figure **bleep**, I can buy a prepaid Paypal card and not have to do the bank and cc stuff. i mean that's what they're for right? So I buy it, set up and account, give paypal my name, address and SSN. But somehow they can't verify my identity with those three things. What the **bleep**? And to verify my account, they need a drivers license less than 6 months old? I don't drive, I don't need to to get around. A utility bill less that six months old? I'm not the head of household, I don't get utility bills sent to me. An SSN card or tax form issued/sent within the last 6 months? Wtf?
