Re: Should I "upgrade" to a stealth business account?
gsdtrainer,
You were correct. When you enter an EIN #, they DO ask for the last 4 digits of your SSN. I'm not sure how you get around that. In another thread, somebody wrote you can be adamant about not providing an SSN, and they will let it happen.
But that was not my experience. I could not advance to the next "business account" screens unless I provided the last 4 numbers of my SSN.
And within 48 hours, that PayPal account was permanently banned.
My personal feeling is that you either start a new Ebay/PayPal pair OR if you have not passed the $20,000 annual threshold, to retire that account for the rest of the year, put in a new PayPal address with new bank in 2017, and take your chances with that.
