A Question For EIN Business Account Owners
For the past 8 hours I have read archived posts about this topic and Google'd the topic too but there are still too many variations of answers instead of a simple solid answer.
I need to provide PP with an EIN number and upgrade my account to a business account.
Because I am blacklisted on eBay and PP I operate all stealth. The account I need to upgrade is stealth.
I'm confused about how far I need to go to use this EIN and then upgrade my PP account to Business.
I can get my EIN as a Corp. but do I also have to get a state tax payer ID and a state business license???
Regardless of whether I do or do not need all of this, I have read recent forum postings (from different forum sites) stating that PP still needs a responsible member of my corp.'s SS number as well as the EIN number. Is this true?
When I tried providing an EIN number on my PP update page it asked for the company name, the EIN AND the name of a responsible contact person or owner.
That's as far as I went with trying to provide this info to PP.
Before I do it again for real, I'm asking if after giving my stealth name as the contact will PP want that name's SS # too??? If so then I'm SOL.
There is no sense in going through all the hoops to get the EIN and all the rest if I still have to provide a valid SS number.
All advice appreciated.
