new name and SSN?
ok, so i have purchased ebay stealth guide and understand everything. i have been on ebay since 1999. i have had a store since 2012 and have 7k transactions. A few cases closed by me (at the buyers request) and a guy using multiple names and addresses, cancelling, returning etc did me in.
i do not understand the name and SSN thing.
I do not have a freiend or family member to use their info.
I can get an address, block my IP etc, but if I need a new bank account I need to provide an SSN to the bank.
Won't that be a match?
I called to ask about opening a DBA account and the rep said they still need a SSN as well as the EIN because they need to know who is running the DBA (or LLC also).
He cited a recent case of someone havinga facebook page that directed pymnts to ISIS and said the FBI needed the person's info who set up the accounts etc (this was PayPal).
So, does EBAY need an SSN too?
I read the manual over and over and it's thorough and helpful, except the way I am reading it, just seems like getting a name and SSN is no big deal. I understand people can have the same name so a name alone isn't an issue.
But my bank won't allow a diff name than my legal name on my acount. And even if they did, I still need an SSN. Won't that trip me up?
An LLC costs $350 in my state and they still want a person's SSN.
WHat do I do?
