I have too, Dee -- years and years. Becoming verified is optional until you reach the ten thousand dollar limit. Then it becomes mandatory. I preferred to use Paypal too, and I'm very upset about all of this. But I will not provide them -- or anyone else -- with my bank account numbers. When I get to the point where they refuse to process payments for me, then I'm going to have to find an alternative. MA

You can become ‘verified’ if you want, but its not compulsory. I much prefer to use PayPal as I don’t have to keep putting in credit card details. dee ________________________________ Yes -- but.................. Paypal has a policy where once you reach a ceiling of ten thousand dollars having been spent through Paypal -- even though they are servicing your own credit card -- they require you to *confirm* your identity by providing them with your bank account numbers. That's not happening! And I'm close to their arbitrary limit (having used Paypal for years for Ebay and other online purchases) -- so I don't know how I'm going to conduct business in the near future. Paypal has no business asking for my banking information since they are not lending me money. They are performing a for-fee service. So -- be careful out there. MA ________________________________
