My list of what not to give/provide to ebay/paypal

[yotano211]

Since there is lots of stupid people out there who just provide or give out info to the devil twin, ebay/paypal, I want to make this short list of what not to give ebay/paypal.

1. Don't use real people's info that you know, esp. if they live in the same household.

2. Don't provide other people's SSN # or tax info to ebay/paypal, they will have to pay more taxes for your selling. Plus it's illegal, so face possible fraud charges or jail/fine (time).

3. Please see #2

4. Are you blind or what, see #2

Thank you and happy selling.

Could be a nice sticky to keep up even though this should be common knowledge.

Dont use ANY info from ppl u know.. Phone number included

This is obvious, and illegal, especially with tax purposes.

Hopefully people can understand but this problem will always exist

Technically you can provide an SSN and keep it under 200/20.000$k. This way the SSN holder wouldn't have additional taxes to pay. This would ensure the Paypal account is not limited at the end of the year and you could keep selling the following year. What or whose SSN people use, is their own business.

The Paypal account holder should still pay taxes of naturally, how much is their own business.
