Hello, I do not have a SSN but I do have an ITIN but I see no option to add it on the options only a SSN option. I've been trying to buy something but Paypal won't let me and I think this is why. Can anyone tell me how I can use my ITIN? Thanks!

As recognized U. S.  tax ID is required for U. S. account registration; for individuals that is a SSN.

I suspect there are some other issues with your account as not being completely verified.  Do you have a linked bank account and a linked credit card?  Is your account a personal account or a business account?

I have both a bank account and a credit card. When I made my account I filled everything else up except the SSN because I didn't have one. I also have a personal account.

You will need a SSN for incorme tax purposes so funds received can be report to the IRS.

So I can not use my funds until I add my SSN?

Paypal says I can do everything except add money to my account
