Converting Personal Acc To LLC

[jjkiefer1]

How long is it recommended to age a personal account prior to converting it to a business (ein) account? The account is under real information, with the exception of a different address (old address that is in databases)
The SSN was already added at account creation, and the same ssn will be holding the EIN. Also, has anyone ever had a DL request while converting to business?

Of every 10 accounts that are converted to a commercial account, approximately 4 to 5 will ask for a driver's license and other documents to verify the information provided.

If your account is selling well with decent limits already I see no reason to swap to business.

But me I usually convert an account to business before it even sells anything

It is better to change to business when creating the account, you can avoid many problems

Is there any tax advantage in converting?

[yobar]

I don't really see any advantages apart from some upper limits on ebay

converting to business on ebay is not a problem at all as long as the account is established , there is no need to take additional action

if the account never sold anything I would not recommend to upgrade

I agree based on having done so once before. However the always in the air question of what we consider "established"
I feel like when they start releasing funds from sale immediatley that is a good sign. But also them not allowing sellers to have a top rated status until 90 days points to 90 days before they consider a seller established.

What does the process look like if a seller is hit with ID Request with all real information except, address that is in database but not on ID?
