PayPal my name, address, phone number, email address, bank account number, credit card number, and social security number. You're linked to my Ebay account, my Amazon account, and whenever I make an online transaction that gives me a Paypal option, I use that. I average about 9 Paypal transactions per month, and according to my profile, have been a Paypal user since 2000. Given all that, after 19 years of use, NOW you aren't sure who I am and need a bunch of documents?!?!?!?
You want a photo ID? You're an ONLINE payment system! Are you going to Skype me every time I make a transaction to see if I look like the guy in the ID?
You want an address verification? All my Paypal transactions are online, direct transfers to and from my bank. You never send anything to my home. Why do you even care what my address is?
As long as the money is in my bank, what does it matter if I live in my car or on a beach?
For SSN you want a document dated in the last year. Options are a pay stub, a Social Security card or a 3rd party tax return. My pay stub does not list mt SSN, a Social Security card is not dated so fails to meet your date within the last year criteria, and I do my own taxes, so no 3rd party return is available.
I see no reason PayPal would need any of this
