Its from a website but im just wondering if anyone knows that information to be true. I really wish Google would open up an auction site to compliment their Google checkout and give competition to stop the high Paypal fees.

I disregard every email from paypal or ebay as a general rule.

Paypal doesn't have my SSN, at least I don't think they do.

In any event, it just sounds like they're trying to scare you into not using paypal and using their own website so they don't have to pay Paypal fees. Doesn't sound like a scam though.

If you read the OP, you'll see the email is not from Paypal

Oh but they reserve the right to put all funds in your account on hold and not only request your SSN but have you fax in your license, for whatever reason they deem necessary.
