Just happened to me. Account is about a year old, I think I am nearing the $20,000 / 200 order number, so they are asking for the Tax ID.
SO, when it hits BOTH $20,000 and 200, that is when Paypal will likely "limit" you, if you do not supply the tax ID.
Unfortunately for me, I already have a real account w/ tax ID already on it, and this one here is a stealth account, so I can't exactly add a tax ID number (unless I want to start another business).
They also decided to put on a 10% 90 day rolling reserve on it. Now I remember why I love Paypal so much!
So, basically, I just took the money out, and going to leave the account as dead.
If it goes negative, I guess that is Paypal's loss, not mine.
If they would not have put the rolling reserve, I might have actually got a tax id to salvage the account.
