Yes, I thought about that possibility, but we should consider getting a new EIN means opening a new LLC, imagine I have 5 PP accounts and 5 companies. That will be a lot of explanations to the IRS. And based on my experience, don't ever try anything shady with the IRS, more companies means more chances for an audit. Sure, a person can have 10 companies under his name, but those business have to be normal and functioning, not for the sake of using them for PP.
To be honest here, I bough the guide, and was slightly disappointed. Nothing truly ground breaking. I guess when dealing with eBay and PP for three years, if there is an answer I can't find, not many will know it either. Like if PP will truly limit an account with SSN or not, or when they ask for SSN, no one knows for sure. I have seen people keep an account without SSN for years. Also, people tend to think that the sale volume will be low without PP, but I know a person using ProPay and her sale volume is still normal. Many of my friends don't even use PP to buy stuff on eBay, they just pulled out a credit card instead. For selling limit, I have seen people guaranteed that you can only increase it in 25, 50 increment, and only in 1 month. But one of my account went from 50 to 100, then straight to 350 in one month, and it is this February. But I think I still get a little bit of information there.
