Amazon Seller Pro

Hi

I'm trying to go stealth on Amazon as a pro seller. However when I sign up I see there's something called "the tax interview". To complete the interview I'm required to provide my real name and SSN. Obviously, it's not possible for me to provide this info if I don't want Amazon to link my accounts. If I enter a bogus name/SSN (like 123456789) Amazon will not accept it.

If I try signing up as an international member Amazon will require me to assert "under penalty of purgery" that I am not US citizen. I do not want to make such a statement bec it is not accurate.

Is there any way to circumvent the tax interview? I know there are many Amazon account sellers here how do they do it?

Thanks

If you're a US citizen, you need to get an EIN # if you don't want to use a SSN.
