yup, I had to on two occasions - once for my private PP account, because that hit some fund limit or something, another one to open a PP business account.
On both occasions, I sent them the minimum required followed up with a call and the accounts were cleared within 1hour.
I don't expect anything less for any accountable institute these days, and I've nothing to fear by sending those details in (so much as I 'trust' those companies not to abuse the personal details I send in).
However, I've never opened an ePass account, since I've never trusted a company that's incorporated in a country where it doesn't do its primary business. At least PayPal is incorporated as a bank in my country, and so has to abide by my country's banking laws (which includes guaranteeing my funds)
--edit
PP isn't incorporated as a bank in my country, but in the EU (incorporated bank in Ireland), so it has to abide by EU banking regulations
