So i've had this paypal account for a while, i don't use it often but when i do, i mainly use it to do some transfer to buy stuff from ebay.  

 

Back then (maybe some years ago, i don't remember exactly how many), i used to be able to add funds to my paypal account using my bank account with no problem.  However, no i tried adding some funds to my paypal balance because i need to send the money as a gift to a friend,  I was prompted with a screen requiring my SSN.  

Why is this?  When did this change come?  I just wanna to be able to add some funds and send some money, my account is already verified, i've already added my credit cardsa nd bank accounts long ago, why do i need to add my SSN just to add some funds?  IF there any way to add funds with putting my SSN?  i'm not comfortable providing paypal my SSN at all!
