well, sometimes paypal does have your social, but that is usually only after you go out of your way to give it to them or apply for some banking product they are offering.
assuming you didn’t give your social, what are the risks?

paypal can shut your account for anything they think is out of the ordinary.  Usually scale they don't like.  But since you don't use the account, you probably don't care to lose it and you make an easy 300$

Can you define/quantify that?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Not really.  I don't know what pps algos look like.  I know people that spend a few hundred and then paypal sends their accounts into review and I've seen people spend thousands

If your PP account is being used for illegal stuff and you find yourself in the middle of a federal investigation..

They don't need your social to know who the account owner is.

You gotta trust him that he will only use it for whatever he says he will.

I didn't know paying bills with my debit card was illegal.

I see that this is mostly dead now. Just curious, were you able to pay credit card build with PPBP? What about taxes ?

So after shutting me down (but leaving my PayPal CC still active - not that I know how I will see the bills or get the cash back), I get this email...
