Re: Can Paypal CHK EIN Number
If your EIN was issued to you personally (a d/b/a) then the IRS will validate your REAL NAME and the EIN.
If your EIN was issued to a partnership, corporation or LLC, then the IRS will validate the BUSINESS NAME and EIN.
HOWEVER - If PayPal is requesting supplier information and your social security number, they may not accept an EIN. Usually, the reason they want the social security number is to verify your identity. This can happen for many reasons, but the most common reason is they think your account is risky for whatever reason, or they believe you are selling counterfeit merchandise.
You may have to let the account go. Without revealing any personal details, can you let us know EXACTLY what the notice that you received from PayPal said?
