I moved to the US from Ireland last year and have been using Paypal to transfer money to my AIB account to pay off some outstanding bills.
I use one Paypal account for my US bank account and one for my AIB.
Today I hit a €2,500 limit and Paypal have asked me to identify myself.
They want an identity card (passport etc.) and a physical address ID (utility bill, bank statement etc.) faxed to them.
I am more than happy to do this.
My question is, will it matter if I provide a US physical address rather than an Irish one?
Are there tax implications or something unforeseen that I have not considered? I'm worried I'm opening myself up to something that will cost me. I would then consider bank drafts or other methods.
The notice from Paypal said that the information was needed to comply with EU money laundering legislation.
I could probably get something with my Irish address but would rather be above board.
I did a search before posting this. I would appreciate any help/advice.
Thanks
