Same thing happened to me! I wanted to resolve this problem without giving my SSN so I sent e-mails. Either PayPal never replied or the emails were sequestered at my server as spam and at my email client as spam. So I called the help number. They told me that the law had changed and they COULD demand SSN. I refused to give it, but the helper said I could provide a Credit Card # or a Debit Card# and that would solve the problem. I am unble to find anywhere on the PP website where I can inpute a card number. At the same time they want a mailed bank statement as proof of address. Ever since I signed up for online banking the bank no longer sends me a bank statement in the mail. Since that is the only kind of mailing address proof they accept that is another unsurmountable problem right there. PayPal has just made it too hard to use as I once did and harder to get answers. I hoping some users will be able to help. If anyone knows how to input a card # into the PayPal account info, please tell me. Thanx.
