Other Options for SSN?
 

What other options are there for providing a SSN? Somebody said to get an EIN but don't you have to provide a SSN for that too? And wouldn't that somehow link my stealth account or get it suspended if I use my SSN (that I used on a suspended ebay account) to get an EIN? I hope that makes sense.. But I really need another option for an SSN! Thanks!

You should get the Ebay Stealth Ebook if you haven't already......great book.

As for SSN and EIN, if you open an LLC or something like that, you can get an EIN. So multiple LLC's = Multiple EIN's. I'm sure someone with more experience will chime in soon.

You get the EIN from the irs with your real SSN.
you don't need to give paypal your SSN just your EIN. And the EIN won't link you to your old account.

And yes mm78 is correct. You open the llc under your SSN. And you get the EIN under the llc. For each llc you can have 1 EIN. If you open 10 llcs you can get 10 eins.
