Ayden update now asking for a photo ID.

Lucynda · #1 02-27-2019

They couldn't verify the info about me being the primary business owner because it's stealth info and are now asking for a photo ID. I plan to upload photos of a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ one. what are thoughts on this?

Lucynda · #2 02-27-2019

I wonder if I could use mine with the last 4 of the EIN

phaz0rz · #3 02-27-2019

I think this is where it's going to start getting messy.

Nobody knows for sure yet. The good new sis that most of us have not been banned from Ayden....yet.

This Ayden process is starting to sound like a nightmare for stealth. Good luck with a doctored ID, I am sure they are checking everything out. Also pretty sure this kind of stuff can get you in serious trouble.

This is stealth norm for Amazon the past couple years. It is the new norm.

Going off that point.. can you remind us why you didn't use your real info for this application Lucynda?

I was running a nice legit business for 4 or 5 years and easily supporting a family of 5. I was in my busiest time of year and didn't see the email telling us that anytime anyone opened a case against us it would now count. before it only counted if the case was closed with no resolution. I was a little bit behind and got emails from customers asking why their order was late, but because of the way eBay had it set up a case was being opened every time someone sent me an email about their order and they closed my account. They were eventually sued over that set up in a class action lawsuit and returned things back to normal but it was too late for me.

He means, why not start fresh with Ayden and heck, even ebay with your real name, information etc.....
You have not been banned by Ayden. They have no reason not to do business with you.

Lucynda · #11 02-27-2019

I was really hoping to find out if we can make stealth work on Ayden. I think our biggest issue is going to be since they check Id's is if they are going to try and verify them with the public record. With Amazon Stealth, they ask for a photo ID and a utility bill. On Etsy they are using Mexican address and Ip addresses to get around the need for a social security number so I know there is a way.

Been telling everyone when ebay does away with paypal. it's going to be a nightmare, and then if you don't have a legit EIN on each account, your account is going to be dead at 19.9k

Speaking from experience, i'd be done on some accounts after 3 months.

It would be dead at $0 if you didn't have a tax ID to provide during the application.

Enjoy dropping 40 llc's on your accountants desk. That's $125 a quarter per LLC for your accountant to take care of it and make estimated tax payments. Imagine that 5k a quarter in accounting fee's.

Obviously, i was talking about 1 llc, and just multiplying them, i am sure you can get a discount

I got the impression you were talking about 40 LLC's and filing quarterly for all of them.

It wasn't obvious at all that you were talking about 1 when you said 40.

I've never did the application, so i am not sure what they ask for. Are they asking for business EIN and your SSN?

yankee · #18 02-27-2019

That is a really cheap accountant Phaz. I can only wonder if he also has cheap advice and costing you a heck of a lot more money in the long run. Cheap service is the most expensive service oftentimes. I hope that is not the case for you.

I haven't done it either, but they don't let you start accepting payments until you give a tax ID. Still not sure if they're trying to get both from people. Lucynda may know since they're currently going through it.

Family run firm that's been around for decades and has some of the best reviews that can be found in the area. Good enough for what I need them for currently. They always spend hours making sure I've deducted everything possible so I'm reasonably confident they aren't costing me a ton of extra money. Hah. :/

They asked for an SSI or an EIN.

Can't beat a great CPA/Accountant. I like them on the verge of sketchy!

Is everyone loving the QBI deduction this year?!?!
