Asking for SSN/ITIN

[nickh04]

I have hit a wall on both my good standing eBay accounts. eBay is asking for my real name, phone, address, and SSN/ITIN.

My last sale was in 2015, I just logged in to see if I can maybe get things rolling again. Is there anyway around this?




account info:

-Personal account
-at least 100 sales
-created 2014
-all good feedback

add your personal details and you are good to go , the only way around this is adding someone else's details but the person should know about this and should agree as you will have to do tax returns in their name

do you plan to sell with this account?then you need to apply for MP payment and it would need SSN

What country is your account from, is it a stealth account?
You have access to that phone number and email registered on eBay

Yes. What is MP payment? Sorry been out of the game for years.




To Yobar:

This is a US stealth account. I still have the email but not the phone #. Name and address is ⊗⊗⊗⊗.

MP Managed payment.
Ebay has replaced Paypal with an outfit called Adyen,it will accept your buyer payment and deposit the proceeds into your bank account.

oh, Manage payments, so it's no longer Paypal.
They use a 3rd party credit card processor.

You may wanna update your phone number asap.

The glory days are over my friend. You will need to apply your SSN for now on. Stealth accounts are pretty much dead now.

Sad times.



So if I use my own SSN and name am I good to go? I will have to change the full name/DOB/address on eBay to the real thing, which was banned back in 2013. Is this a dumb idea? My goal is not to evade taxes, I just want to get back to selling this inventory that has been taking up a bedroom in my house

That's 10 years ago, I'd say go make a new account.

Yes, thats correct. When you start selling, you'll have to enter your real SSN, address, DOB, etc...

You should be fine.

That's right no SS# back then

[murdered_by_ebay]

old suspensions do not matter anymore

i never gave ebay my SSN.


I don't even think I gave Paypal my SSN back in the day, so that number is clean.



Ok, sounds like I will enter my real name/SSN into my old account that is still in good standing and report back. Thanks everybody

[agent006140]

If you have received a 1099K from Paypal,then you must have given Paypal your SSN

Yep, your real info. Still follow part of the stealth guide but you should be good.
