Your english is fine... Understandable at least.
What are your selling-limits and how aged is the account as of now?
Hard to tell your position without any information on your account.

You should let it cool down for a bit then. Especially during this holiday season. You can start listing again in January if you so wish. If you are reaching your limit again you do not want to go over it. Give eBay some time and they might lift your limits after they've reviewed you account (if you have it in good standing).

Once they ask for tax info stop selling and move onto another account. It will reset sometime in late January.

To sell 500 items you might need 4, 5, 6 accounts...

PayPal typically asks on projected sales of either or number. Not 200-20K IRS requirement.

Most people report 140-170 items and it depends on the time of year as well. You could easily sell a couple hundred $30.00 items before the first of the year and not get the request in December. In January you might not make 100 before they request based on yearly projections.

You have to know it is paypal that you need to worry about.

paypal can, and paypal do ask for tax info on projected sales.

If you are talking about getting near to your 200 total so quickly, you need to think of using more accounts.

What steps are you going to take for the tax requests?

If you don't go over the threshold this year, if you continue with the sales you made in just 2 months , than you will definitely get asked for a tax ID selling the way you are by the end of January beginning of February

It's on Pace , so it is different making close to 200 transactions the last month of the year as opposed to the first month

So get prepared to provide a tax ID, unless you plan on spreading sales out in the upcoming New Year

That's strange, but it will depend on what month your sales are in, if you have $3000 in Sales coming in to DECEMBER and DECEMBER sales are approaching $8000 but it's the last couple days , than you may not get asked for a tax ID, because even though your at $8000 in Sales there is only say 1 or 2 days left in the year so you are not on pace to go over 20K

However if you have he same 8K in Sales in January you will almost certainly be asked for a taxID because it's the first Month of the year so with 11 months left your projection is much higher

My news years resolution is to start a spread sheet for paypal on all my stealth accounst to keep track of $$ and number of items sold....last year was my first year of stealthiness, so most of my accounts have not sold for a full calendar year.....this year, they will so I'm going to be very, very careful about staying away from those 200-20K limits.

I've had Paypal warning emails early and some very late near
the 20/20,000 threshold. I stopped selling on them.
But the next January, new year, the message asking for tax ID #
lasted until July of that year. That's on all Paypals with notices!

You must have continued to sell after the first request. At demand you will not be able to do anything other than supply an EIN.

Maybe I went over the piece count but I'm sure I didn't go over the 20 grand. Maybe when you break one they make you wait longer.

You kept on selling until they limited your account is seems. If you stop selling when you received the first request you should have had a different result.
