Hi I just make a company in US and Obtain my EIN and make PayPal for my company as I provide SEO services.   I am foreigner from Pakistan so I do not have a  SSN but have a EIN.   I attach a EIN letter from the IRS in the resolve documents but it was rejected twice as he require documents according to (CIP).   Please tell me what should I do. How I resolve this Problems.   Or can I continue to use my PayPal as the only limitation is that I cannot close my account.    I ask the Merchant Solution Specialist he suggest that    "If you cannot provide SSN provide your EIN # and write up a Word document explaining that you do not have an SSN because you are not from the U.S. but your business is located in the U.S. "   So I provide my EIN letter, Passport , Company formation documents but PayPal again reject my application by saying   Thank you for choosing PayPal! We were unable to confirm your identity with the information we received. Please provide the following: - Proof of SSN/ITIN: A copy of your social security card, a current paystub, IRS statement, past year's W-2, or past year's tax filing return. Alternatively, please provide a copy of your IRS letter assigning full Individual Taxpayer Identification number (ITIN). These documents need to show the full social security number and been issued within the last 12 months.   What Should I do  ... View more
