AP requires my SSN in order for me to send/receive payments. Is it just me or everybody now? thanks.

If you send your bf $1000 every month and he sends you $1000 every month, you will likely get shut down.

A lot of us are doing that now and it seems to work OK. Personally, I use odd amounts less than $1000.

Yeap, had to enter SSN to receive a payment just now. Won't be hitting $20K in 2013, so 'sall good.

i just checked and surprisingly it went through. gave me a small scare when it said pending. now i need to fly even lower under the radar.

ok, i just checked and it only says Pending immediately after the payment. if you check about 15 seonds later, it says Success.

Yipee! You got one of Cardinal Fang's 2012 Christmas cards. If it were not for email, he would have sent it postage due with a nice lump of coal.:D

Greetings from Amazon Payments.

We are writing because it has come to our attention that you have opened multiple accounts.

Amazon WebPay has a combined sending and receiving limit of $1000 per month per user. Multiple accounts opened to potentially enhance this limit will be closed.

All pending transactions have been canceled and your Amazon Payments accounts closed.

We appreciate your compliance with this matter and thank you for your interest in Amazon Payments.

Sincerely,

I didn't do anything new. Been doing the same transactions for over a year now and its been a week since I used this account, so it doesn't seem like anything in particular triggered this action.

Well, as all predicted, send/receive has been disabled for accounts that did not provide SSN.

I also

it asked the same question about my spouse's account even though we had submitted all that information during account opening, but we put in the info again. Oddly enough, it failed to verify first time around. Second time, it asked us to key in our address, etc along with SSN. After keying in everything, their automated system still couldn't verify and ended up locking her account. Now to call AP and figure out what's going on..

It asked me for a second time as well, which I did not enter since I already did. Hopefully this is not an issue. Please keep us updated.

Curious minds will wanna know.

well, I didn't want to either, but the system refused to let me transfer the balance to the bank account, so I was forced to enter the details. We will talk to them soon to figure out what's going on, will keep you folks posted.
