Re: How do you get around ssn requirement for etsy stealth accounts?
 

For those of you reading eman350's advice....please disregard that. DO NOT use someone's SSN.

Um, I asked my sister to use her s.s and never had a promblem for over a year.
We both signed a form that she allowed it and made it all legit.

It's not a problem per se, but at the end she will be responsible for those taxes. As long as the taxes are paid, there should not be any issue.

Exactly what I meant

Why you guys want a USA account? i have made over 30 accounts from other countrys and good without problems

Re: How do you get around ssn requirement for etsy stealth accounts?
 

In my experience, direct checkout accounts usually sells a little more that only paypal accounts, but you will have the SSN issue.
I dont know what happens if you are not from the US and open an US account with all stealth info. Then if the IRS email comes, for you to change the ssn (again) I dont know what happens if you dont send anything or send another stealth one.
That's why everyone would prefer a US account, I think.

Could you tell us a little more on what you do to keep those opened accounts? I mean how you pay bills, what payment option do you offer, etc.
I just read your how to open accounts post.

Im from Nicaragua, and i make the accounts from Nicaragua, they dont require SNN, i just add a new email to Paypal and use that email for the new Etsy Stealth Account, and im ready to go..

Now if you feel US accounts sale a little more, I just put that i ship from USA and the results are the same. When people like your products, payments are not an issue. Having in mind that you have good reviews.

About paying my bills. i just select payment options Paypal and pay with the email i have on Etsy.

I have been making accounts for long terms and this is not a problem.

Do you have a personal or business PP account?
Does E**y see the business name or just the e-mail adress?

Re: How do you get around ssn requirement for etsy stealth accounts?
 

They just see the email address.

So can you enter last 4 of ssn and then update to EIN?
