Hi, ive got a friend who's trying to send me cash from his paypal to mine, but he says that he recieved a message stating "you didnt supply a working paypal address" - is this because I have this message that pops up every time I log into paypal: PayPal is constantly working to ensure security by regularly screening the accounts in our system. We recently reviewed your account, and we need more information to help us provide you with secure service. We would like to return your account to regular standing as soon as possible. We apologize for the inconvenience. What is the problem? (Date that I've removed): Before we can offer you certain products and services, federal regulations require that we collect specific information to verify your identity. This information includes your name, address, date of birth, and National Tax ID or Social Security number. We haven't been able to verify your identity using the information you provided, so we need some additional documentation from you. Until this issue is resolved, you'll be able to log in to your PayPal account but you might not be able to add money to it or use some of your account features. Now i know that i've had this on my paypal for some time and that its just standard for all paypal accounts to need to provide their photo id, proof of address and proof of SSN, but the real conundrum is that this is also listed in the resolution center: What can I do while my account is limited? send money withdraw money from your account receive or request money update your account information add or remove a card add or remove a bank account send refunds use PayPal logos in your auction listings or on your website What can't I do while my account is limited? add money to your account I didnt want to bother trying to provide a photo id etc because it was too much of a hassle, and according to this list, I could also still recieve money from others despite not providing this information, just that I cant add money to my account. I thought "add money to your account" was refering to being able to add money from your attached bank account to your paypal, does it also mean you cant recieve payments from others? If thats true then why does it say that I can "receive or request money"? Either way im going to eventually provide my info to resolve all these issues, but honestly I want to know why this happened in the first place. If I can't recieve money at all in any form at all until I provide proof of my identification then paypal should clearly say so.
