Whenever I create a new Paypal account and receive the first payment, PayPal needs still need some information from me; my photo ID and Adress proof, for the first order because of suspicious activities. Do you think it could be my VCC, I change every time new by Revolut and I deposit it at PayPal. Something else it can not be, Fresh IP, Shop, Mobile Number, Fingerprinting all new.

It could be a known (and blacklisted) series, but it doesn't end there. Don't forget, it's a real and physical company and they have employees who can manually check each and every paypal account that got registered recently, and had a transaction.

Noone will be able to tell you how exactly they are detecting it. Not even paypal employees, because these companies distribute the work so well, that no single person can tell you how the whole process works.

I suspect it is more than just the vcc. Exactly what? Sorry, I am not sure.
 
Well, you need to verify the account sooner than later even if it's a 100% legit, white hat account. You might be doing everything right and simply the transaction is triggering the verification request. It's not like they let you spend the money or withdraw it without verification anyway.

No this has nothing to do with real information, had the same with my old Paypals, there was everything good. I think the VCC has something to do with it, since they are factually with my fingerprints somewhere together.

I thought so too, but still go back to the VCC thing.

You are basically saying that you know how they are detecting the account. Why ask then? You already know what's wrong.

Yes, I just want to get more knowledge and insides here, so that I can think more outside the box.
 
It happened to me more than 10 years ago.
They blocked my 100% legit account (real data, no VCC, and only used to buy from eBay and other stores) for no reason at all and asked for a proof of residence.
I had to go to my town hall office and get a certificate to prove I lived at the same address.

I do understand that. My initial post was for that only. Just so that it can tickle your brain a bit more. But I guarantee you, nobody exactly knows how they detect the fake accounts. It's their business logic and trust me, we only see the tip of the iceberg.

You're right, it's getting harder and harder for us.
 
May be you have completed all the account settings and verifications like a pro person than a newbie
So it have raised a flag based on the behaviour, take a week and complete steps with time gap
 
I can understand how frustrating it may be and like others have said, it could be due to a number of reasons, personally, I would suggest you start again change the setup slightly and take the below into consideration.
  1. Create a new email. (Outlook, Yahoo, Gmail, AOL)
  2. Create a new User account on your Computer which will be used to create the account and the day to day usage.
  3. VCC, If you are under the impression this could be the route to it, you can buy something different online, I've seen many sellers here on BHW or If you like, I can give you one that works free of charge, it auto verifies the payment method, you wont be required to enter a code.
  4. IP Address, ensure you are using a clean address that has not been used before. Dedicated VPN & Proxies work well in my experience.
  5. Lastly but most importantly, before you start receiving fund into the account, let the account age for a month and when the funds arrive try to start with small numbers, I would suggest a good approach is to leave the funds in the account for a month don't rush to withdraw it and when you do break it down into small transactions and build the trust.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask and I hope you do get all sorted soon.
