How many sales until SSN in 2026?
 

In 2024/2025 I got hit with ssn request within 600$ in sales. I was wondering is it still like that in 2026? Does anyone know in 2026 how many sales does it take to get hit with ssn or what when were you requested for it?

here is what I found
Who Receives a Form 1099-K from eBay?
Form 1099-K is the primary document you’ll encounter as an eBay seller. Starting in 2022, new rules mean you’ll receive this form if your total sales exceed $600 in a calendar year, regardless of the number of transactions. This is a significant shift from the old threshold of $20,000 and 200 transactions, so many more sellers now fall under this requirement.

Even if you don’t receive a Form 1099-K, you’re still responsible for reporting all your earnings to the IRS. Keeping track of your income and understanding eBay sales tax forms is essential to avoid surprises at tax time.
If I am not mistaken,Ebay will ask for SSN when you open an account,it wants to see the front and back of your SS card

From eBay's website I read last night that the threshold is back to 20,000 200 transactions. That is why I was asking because it seems completely random now when they request it.

It will be interesting to see. The last account I created last year needed SS immediately. MP may keep it that way compared to old Paypal IRS thresholds.

Ebay said it is a way to strengthen your account,knowing you are whom you said you are.
