Can't use anyones Social Security #

[Benjoboy]

None of my friends or relatives are comfortable letting me use their social security numbers. I'm just curious how far I'll be able to go without that. I don't want to have to register an LLC and potentially have it shut down. That would suck. Who has had success without a Social Security #? And if so, what have you done?

Thanks

Get an EIN # - you don't really have to worry about providing it until you reach the Paypal limit of 200 transations

Rightly so... Its really not needed.

Look into EIN instead

Theres no need for an SSN if you practice proper stealth.
As for the 200/20000 annual limit paypal has - spread your sales across multiple accounts and youll never have to worry about that either.

Good for them. There are other methods besides an SSN.

Stealth accounts can last a long time, it's all up to you how you run them.

Not sure why you think an account with an SSN would last any longer, any account can go down no matter what. An SSN doesn't make an account bulletproof.

LOL Seriously? Take a look all around this forum.

Yes! forget using families or friend social security number. You can,t blame them for not helping you at the rate where many people personal data is being hacked today they are scared to trust anyone. Use EIN as another stealth choice for SSN.

Should never use family/friends info, just get an EIN or split your sales between multiple accounts
