From the requests I have gotten, PayPal wants much more information than just SSN and birth date - more like the long list of info required to get a "National ID Card" from my state's driver's license bureau!
Why would I wanna scan & send all of those documents over the net, to be held in some database and be open to hacking. Oh sure a bank account number is one thing: D/L, utility bills, renter's agreement/mortgage info, SSN, DOB, mother's maiden name, blah, blah, bah. Last time I had to give all of the info to one person was when I showed up at the NSA in Ft Mede to do a job. There I get it. Processing payments - no.
Why can't PP "verify" me from the fact that the bank accounts linked and the CCs linked have already done said verification process. Why can't I go in somewhere and show ID and get verified? PP needs an affiliate program or process. Way too many people blindly send their info off into cyberspace.
