paypal help

dreamzilla · #1 08-24-2018

hello ,

been a few yrs since i have posted ... started a new ebay account 2 years ago and its aged well , 400/ 31,000

was selling stuff ( all legit ) and when i tried to list items last night it wouldnt let me , after some digging around on my paypal account which is stelth , i have come to find out i CAN NOT USE my email address to accept payments on ebay listings until i verify myself for TAX PURPOSES

my papal account is a business account and i can nto change that , theres asking for a SSI number or EIN number or a ITIN number

i used a stelth name and address and idk if it can work to add an EIN number and such ...

open to suggestion please

my option would be to open a new paypal account and add the bank account i have listed on my current account ?

thank you in advance

Do you have a SSN on the account?

If you open another paypal use a different IP and different Information, as in set up a new stealth account, so that the 2 do not get linked.

Add your EIN so it doesnt interrupt your cash flow.

altending360, before asking these first you should ask if OP is based in the USA ...?

Well I suppose that you are right. I just outright assumed, since he was flying the US flag. Sorry about that. It is also more advantageous for someone in the US to have a US account.

Is your stealth account a US account? If it is an you are a citizen you can get an ein in all of 5 minutes.
