Doubtful. Your giving them business without gaining anything ( money wise). You'll be protected. I did this plenty of times, no issue. Just make sure it isn't a stealth account.

I don't see PayPal requiring an SSN on a buyer account unless you want to add a Debit Card to it. Then, they have to.

Buyers do not represent much of a risk to PayPal.

Yes, you can open an ebay just for buying. Paypal may ask for ssn after a while if you buy too much even for buying. I was asked this myself on a buyer legit account months ago for paypal and its bs, but paypal required it.
