Hi Doug Balduini,
To continue sending* or spending money directly from your PayPal balance, please provide us with a bit more info so we can confirm your identity. We do this to help keep your account secure and support regulations that fight money laundering and fraud.
Confirm Your Identity
You've got options.
Keep a PayPal balance
Keep a PayPal balance and confirm your identity by 1/27/19
Click Confirm Your Identity, or log in to your account and click the Notifications icon at the top of the page, then follow the instructions. You'll only have to do this once. Then you can keep using your balance the way you always have. Any automatic payments you have will continue to be paid from your balance. This includes subscriptions, installment plans, recurring payments, and even occasional purchases from certain merchants.

Don't keep a PayPal balance
Don't keep a PayPal balance
It's your choice whether to confirm your identity, but if you don't do so by 1/27/19, you won't be able to spend or send money* from your balance. Instead, you can log in to PayPal whenever you receive money and transfer it to your bank in about a day for free, or in minutes for a fee.**
