Strange. I think I moved six times since I opened a Paypal account. I don't remember changing the address but maybe once or twice. I don't even think they have my current post office box number on file. I doubt they have a current phone number either (I think I'll check this later). And I've never been hassled or asked to verify anything. I've never sent them a copy of any photo ID. I've never had to go anywhere in person to show such ID to any of Paypal's agents.
And Paypal is publicly traded and subject to auditing (real financial auditing) and U.S. banking regulations too. I'm also a U.S. citizen and they are a U.S. corporation.
I've probably had my Paypal account for about 14 years now!
How can this be? How can they do this but Paxum cannot?
