    I left like a decade ago when they asked me in a chat to verify my identity by answering a question asking what my first car purchase was. I’ve never given then my SSN or that kind of financial details, so the fact they had these questions and details about me terrified me at the time and I immediately requested to delete and close everything with them. Haven’t used PayPal again since then.

      What you experienced is a verification service provided by credit reporting agencies and has nothing to do with PayPal. I wouldn’t be concerned that PayPal has this information, because they don’t. There are probably better reasons to be concerned and to not use PayPal.
