Makes sense as they made it clear that when the SSN was implemented in the USA it had such a negative effect on eBay. They are clearly trying to reduce that effect with the implementation of N.I and HMRC reporting by giving their old members a grace period who will no doubt be familiar with selling and their tax obligations anyway and obviously be eBay's main earners still making good profits for eBays shareholders.
I'm sure HMRC are also giving eBay a chance to get things in order as it's a collosal task no doubt.
I know we have the rest of the year to go but I've exceeded the threshold on a old legacy account and still haven't been asked to provide nino on it.
