Multiple EIN for eBay... Bad idea or OK?

[bftiedt]

So I went and set up a new eBay. Filed for an EIN and used that instead of my SSN. After about 2 weeks I was shut down due to an item I listed . I am going to attempt to recover this account , but in the event I can't , is it a bad idea to file for another EIN and just start fresh ? My worry of course is messing with how taxes will be filed. Anyone have an experience here? Thanks .

You can get as many EIN's as you want. The limit from the IRS is one application per day.

Not sure how you got by without at least giving the last 4 of your SSN though.

New account with not many sales = no profit. There won't be any taxes due. Unless I'm not understanding your quesiton.
