I have purchased things using PayPal exclusively for decades and I called their *customer service* to ask them directly why this practice is now in place? My reply over the phone was because I have a P.O. box I was flagged. This person cited the Patriots Act in telling me about this to which I promptly denied giving him my SSN. At this time the conversation was practically over with him citing that without one of the required things in pace ALL of them had to be there. Without one of them required he would not process the lift on my Restricted account. I am not a SELLER I am a buyer and have trusted PayPal to facilitate my payments for decades.. now, I will not be giving them my SSN and am told by the same person that this will cost me my account as of March 2018. Personally, I feel this is a violation of my rights any way you look at it and with fraud running rampant many banks in the USA are not going to touch Paypal. Also, just saying this individual said they were a BANK in the UK is this accurate?
