Default Paypal asking me to verify my EIN again?

It's a year old account with no problems and there asking me to verify my EIN again? Is that unusual?

Yes it is. Did you make a mistake the first time?

They usually will take it, and you won't find out if you made a mistake until months later when the IRS rejects the 1099k Paypal sent them.

Are you being asked to fill out a form W9?

No. There just asking for the EIN. I haven't done the LLC yet but I didnt think they would file anything until the end of the year, could that be the problem?

The paypal was a bought one and registered under a name. I registered the EIN under the business name I was using on eBay. Could that be the problem? Do I need an EIN under the non existant person the account was registered under?.

No. That would probably count as fraud if you used the stealth name. Using a valid LLC name (registered with IRS) + EIN has worked on all of my business accounts.

Not being registered with a state yet also shouldn't cause any problems since they're going by IRS records and not state records. I always wait until the last minute to legally form the LLC, just like what you're describing, and it's never been an issue for me.

Can you just put in the EIN + business name again?

I haven't tried it yet. I'm going to call the IRS and check the information on the EIN. Are they able to see the address on the EIN?

The IRS has all the info you used, but they will probably tell you they can't give that info out over the phone. That's my experience. I had to request another paper copy of my EIN paperwork a few years ago when I was in a similar situation. It's free but it will take you 2 weeks or so to get the paperwork in the mail.

Paypal? No. The IRS? Yes.

I lost the EIN when my laptop crashed earlier in the year and was able to get the information over the phone so I will call and double check it before I resubmit it. I transferred all the money out of it just in case. it's really going to be a pain in the ass if I have to get a new Paypal account for a perfectly good eBay account.

No doubt. Plus it would probably end up linked/limited.

Good luck!

Well, I verified it with the IRS, it's correct. I resubmitted it, they accepted it. I did remember that I had a few cases for larger than usual figures opened this month. I ordered some daylilies which I resold and they turned out to be a different type than what I ordered but I refunded them when the complaints came through. I guess maybe it had something to do with that.

It is a glitch. It has happened to use twice recently. You call into paypal, they ask your name and then tell you they reset your account. You get off the phone and everything seems fine but the red explanation point remains. Then within one day, you get the request again, reenter and you get the normal response from paypal that they you updated etc...
