Getting errors and they are asking to send a picture of my social security card. why would they need that? If they think I am going to email or fax a picture of my social security card, they are out of their minds!!

Up to you, you can do it or close your account.

The US Patriot Act requires PayPal to implement a Customer Identification Program (CIP). Each country or region has specific CIP requirements for the collection of customer data. Some examples of the information we collect and verify can include your name, physical address, date of birth, and National/Tax ID number (SSN). To verify your identity, we use a National Database to obtain a positive match of legal name, address, date of birth, and SSN.
