Paypal receipts from the dead

So my Paypal account is frozen and besides a bunch of hoops I can jump through (although a big PITA) they are saying I will probably need to show receipts for the coins I've sold????
I guess I better get my shovel and exhume the body and see if my uncle was buried with them.
Anybody else had this problem?

And why do they need receipts of the coins you sold??
Recipient of the coveted "You Suck" award, April 2009 for cherrypicking a 1833 CBHD LM-5, and April 2022 for a 1835 LM-12, and again in Aug 2012 for picking off a 1952 FS-902.
Sign on Paypal and see if it actually frozen or not.
coins that are worth a few bucks they want to see receipts to show that the coins aren't stolen. I said "say what? I've never heard of that before." My uncle is muerto and if there ever were receipts they are long gone.
So I did all the crap they wanted like sent them my passport picture and a copy of a ulility bill and on and on and now he says some Paypal guys are going to decide if I need an affadavid (sp?) or if they'll just let it go. In the meantime I'm f#@*ed as my account is frozen.
I know, I know, Paypal sucks.
Lesson learned today: as soon as the money shows up transfer it out of there.
I've never heard of paypal doing such a thing. --Jerry

I went through the same thing as Jerry, but thru EBay! NEVER PAYPAL.
You should get PayPal Verified for $5, but what you are being asked sounds like a phishing, like cmerlo1 suggested.

EBAY really does suck..will they ask for the same info from those coin sellers in China ?
You can do that legitimately, as an example, by using our own BST forum and using Paypal as payment, but maybe a lot of this kind of activity sends a red flag to Paypal (Ebay) because they may think you're selling to an Ebay customer, but not actually using the Ebay auction.

I'm extremely scam wary and made sure that it was Paypal I was dealing with.
I agree: I can't believe they're hassling me for the original receipts of my coins while China is flooding Ebay with their garbage counterfeits.
god bless Ebay. <vomit>

Are the Rats the ebay'ers who commit state and federal tax fraud, or are the Rats the IRS for investigating the crime?
