As we mentioned earlier, Privacy can officially be nested with 5205’s PayPal Key, which enabled a lot of different use cases.
However, many readers in our WeChat groups have recently reported that trying a new nested setup or changing the PPK linked to it can trigger a Privacy review, after which the account is closed directly. It seems Privacy has probably discovered the bug related to 5205 PayPal Key. For now, the first batch of existing nested setups appears to be temporarily safe. Do not change the card number on your PayPal Key. If you run into any issues, feel free to report them.
