How to edit Date of Birth info in paypal?

**lemon_1800** · 03-02-09, 07:17

Just now I understand why paypal is not removing my limitation and the reason is I placed incorrect date of birth while signing up. But right now I can neither see my DOB anywhere in the profile, nor I can edit it. Can you tell me where can we locate DOB information and how to edit it?

Why will paypal limit your account if you have placed an incorrect DOB? BTW you can't change your personal details in paypal

Well, friend, actually my paypal account was limited when one scammer sent me fraud paypal while trading with him for my LR. In that transaction I lost my $25 LR which I sent to him, but I had to refund the paypal sent by him. That's the worst thing about paypal. Paypal chargeback really kills our money. If we don't have any written proof for our transaction and the opposite person opens a case against us, we have to refund our money.

Now in order to remove the limitation they are asking me to send address and photo id proofs. But in those proofs, my date of birth is different, so paypal is not ready to lift my limitation. Now it seems it's impossible to lift the limitation forever. I have to forget my paypal account and the $20 in it.

Well I guess DOB doesn't matter so much. I am not sure about this but still i think so. Anyways try mailing them your problem.

Yes I got a reply from paypal that DOB is not a concern to remove the limitation. But I wonder then why they still keep my account limited. I submitted my address proofs, and I linked credit card number using VCC. Now the only one step pending is "confirm my bank account" which I'm not able to do.

Well it is not a concern to add your bank account. It has nothing to do with limitation. You just need to wait a few days for them to process the things you did for removing the limitation. Just wait.

Yeah that is correct we will need to cheat some time as we use our date of birth on every site like forum and some time others can see it so it is not really safe if we cheat our date of birth we are hope we are safe....

hmm. i also worried about that we even put our date of birth on some site and then add our payment processor there to receive money. think i will put a different BOD of sites later to avoid any cheat.
