Paypal is asking for SSN/ITIN
 

Hello,

I bought stealth like a months ago, I made like 150 trasactions now and paypal is asking for SSN or ITIN. What can I do?

Stealth accounts that I used to buy came with SSN already...

You are two options:
Option 1
Stop selling on this account and wait for a reset next year (This only resets one the first SSN request, so stop selling immediately. Once a second request is made, account will never reset)
Option 2
Create a LLC or S-Corp and upgrade this to a business account. You'll be able to add an EIN number in lieu of an SSN on a PayPal business account.
One final note:
NEVER buy accounts with a SSN number attached. These are stolen, it's illegal and identity theft is a federal offense...bad news for those who don't like jail cells.

Option 2 rarely works, within in seconds of upgrading an account they asked for SSN, business license and verification of address. Last two times I tried.
