If you legitimately are doing all this paperwork.I sure hope you're making 6 figures, and i mean not just 100k. like 300k or more. Goodluck with all of that!

25 ein's / accounts is quite a large arsenal - I dont think any one person has this many operating accounts. Most people have just a couple accounts usually under 5.

Paying an accountant to do the paperwork for many EIN's / accounts can get expensive and complicated. If you are paying him to file for you I dont see any reason why an accountant would kick you out. You are paying for a service that he is offering I see no reason for an accountant to refuse work or to create unnecessary drama.

Personally I file all my own taxes.

I have 25 and about 3-4 that i haven't set up yet. Out of those 25 maybe 10-15 sell decently. You'd be surprised how many people have. They definitely have more than 5

Wait, what? Using a SSN as Sole Proprietor, you can only get one EIN ever, not one per day. No one would need to open an LLC then

Do you have to buy an llc each time to get one new ein? Or is there a cheaper way to get many>?

I have an EIN I never used on anything. Afraid to pull the trigger.

I believe I can get it to work with ebay but not Amazon because
the EIN shows my name, address etc.

Do you suggest a way around this please?

I posted I have a EIN already. My issue has not been answered.

Issue is I see many EIN showing personal names on the information section.
Some do not. I need to know how to not have my personal name showing like some do.

Amazon has access to this which EIN are public information they can match the name to a banned Amazon account.

I am in the market for a stealth amazon account. Seems from all the above posts, I can 1) register a LLC and get a EIN and 2) register an amazon account.

Except that now that amazon steps up the game the verification is very hard to pass right? e.g., the utility bill...

[hing12004]

I have the same inquiry with you, can some please answer our question.
Thanks!

How much for just an ebay account?

[SilentO]

im messaging about UK ltd Companys,

im trying to set up a new amazon account.
i bought Ghost.

it does not mention anything about company's
i.e are they going to prompt me to add a LTD Company at some point.
or can i go on as a sole trader?

Cheers.

Yes, apply for a new EIN with made up address. Or alternatively, call IRS and request address change on the EIN you currently have.
Make sure ALL INFO is different than your previous account!!! Numbers, address, bank accounts, credit card number, EVERYTHING! That's basically stealth, you are creating a stealth account, doesn't matter that it's under your real name. The different EIN essentially makes you a new person, as long as everything else is different. Also I'm assuming that you never provided your ID for verification on your old account, otherwise you will be linked when you provide them that now since they ask for ID and utility bills for verification of all new accounts pretty much.

The big linker for using your real name is DOB. In the past, Amazon never asked for DOB nor required ID. They first required ID, then they started asking for DOB.

Same name wont link. But same name AND same DOB I believe will link.

If you were suspended in the past and never provided your DOB, I have the belief that you can reuse your name.
