problem of SSN

[ltm999]

Just curious, what do you guys do for PayPal constantly bugging you for SSN. I see a lot of non-US sellers here who obviously don't have an SSN. What's the deal here?
US Sellers - just want to get a few more opinions, is everybody around here getting a 1099? If not, then what's your playbook? New to this, so any help is appreciated.

It's a new thing. So far everyone is just transferring funds into their checking account.

plenty of US sellers get 1099k if they have 200 transactions AND $20k (sales).
one copy goes to the seller and one copy goes to IRS,thats why they want your SSN
