I am a hair braider and opened my PayPal 4 years ago under my business name. PayPal never asked me to give my social. They asked to attached bank account, credit card, and verify it, which I did. Recently, 6 of my clients paid me $10 each for appointment rsvp, so $60 that is now stuck in PayPal because now, they want me to change the name from my business to my real name and for that they want my full social. For 4 years, it's never been a problem, and now all of a sudden, my account is frozen. So to unfreeze the account, they ask for few documents : ID, bill, bank and the social. I took a big risk by uploading my ID, my utility bill, my cc but refused to upload the full social. Even here in the US, the full social is never asked, only the 4 last digit and some people in Ireland, the Philippines or wherever, are asking me to give them my social in the name of PayPal. No, You have no right to be asking people for their full social. The internet is a very dangerous place and I already took a huge risk by sending you my ID, bill and CC. I want you to unfreeze my account so I can leave. This is becoming crazy. People verify their PayPal with their respective banks and now you want to turn into the bank itself. Fix my problem and let me go. You can t ask for the full social.
