He told me that the govt. was requiring them to get that info. I still contend that I'm not a seller and they dont need that info. I didnt have a problem until my paypal balance got low and I tried to add money to my acct from the bank acct I had stored with them....I opened a special acct at the bank just for paypal...kept only small amt in that acct to transfer to paypal after I got scammed for $800 last year. paypal did reimburse $600 of my money in just a few days, but over 30 days for the original $200 charge....at that time I removed my credit card # from paypal and opened up a new acct for that and never kept over a few hundred dollars....sure didnt want anyone hacking into my main bank acct.
