Immediate suspension for a stealth account
I have a few stealth accounts doing well, and the setup for this new one was no different. All new IP, tracfone, VCC, BA, etc. The only boo-boo I noticed it that for some reason this account defaults to the amazon.ca orders. I registered the account as a US-based one. Seller support says this is a new "Unified Account" type, whatever. It kind of threw me off when I went to add the bank account info, and the addition failed a couple of times. Maybe that was the trigger.
But I haven't even attempted to list anything yet, and they suspended the selling privileges. The alert says: Amazon requires that you provide your taxpayer ID info. Your selling privileges have been suspended until the require information is provided. To provide the required info, please start the self-service tax interview.
Essentially, they want either a EIN or SSN. Any ideas? Or should I just dump the whole setup? For future new accounts, would you recommend that I don't add banking info until after I've actually listed items and started selling? Thanks.
