Re: The day has come...
It sounds like you are making a business account from the get-go. It is not a stealth way because the "user" SS requirement.
Best option is to make a person account using your stealth details. When and ONLY when paypal demands tax info when you far and away break the threshold of 200 items or 20K in gross sales do you consider adding an EIN. If you do this, as of very recently, no users SS requirement.
You may never even get asked for it. I have accounts that have gone well past the $$$ threshold that have not had the first request yet. A couple other volume sellers have chatted and have had the same thing. A young man on this forum just got limited after selling 250 items very quickly and he has chosen to add an EIN based on the strength of the account.
I have an account that I expect to get a request because it has sold around well beyond the $$ threshold and will break 200 pieces by Thursday night. This is my worst selling account and I will not waste an EIN on it because ebay throttles the visibility of auctions on this account.
Just sharing this info as food for thought.
