Paypal asking for tax id problem stealth account help please

[Rano]

Hello, senior members please help. My paypal account asking for tax id, because i hited 20k. The problem is account is stealth, i won't be able to provide. My question is: If i will not provide what they are asking, i know my account will be limited, but will i be able to withdraw money after 180 days or not??? Somebody had same situation?

Clarify please - pp.ca or pp.com or....?

[Rano]

Canadian PayPal, I never had this problem before, maybe because I was selling on eBay.com? Do you know where to problem comes, so I can avoid it next time?

[rsot]

What is there to avoid? You hit high sales so PP is normal to ask for documents. Is it the "CRA requires etc" message? If account is limited, in GENERAL you should be ok after 180 days.

Avoid it? Start rotating sales through multiple accounts

Canadian PayPal never asks for IRS TAX ID, only US PP does, that's why I am concerned, why?

Rotate 100 accounts and you'll never run into this problem...

Ah ok - clearer now...IRS tax ID - that's odd for Canadian PP...

You registered with a Canadian address? Only selling on ebay.com with registered Canadian address?

[Rano]

Yes eBay and PayPal both Canadians, with registered Canadian address, and Canadian phone number, just the currency I am receiving is US dollars, because I am listing on eBay.com, maybe that was the problem. It's unusual.

Please provide your tax ID number

Dear Yolanda Redmon,

We're asking for your tax ID number due to new IRS rules. Your tax ID
number is one of these:

- Your Social Security number
- Your Individual Tax Identification Number
- Your Employer Identification Number

We'll use your tax ID number to send tax Form 1099-K to you and the IRS
when the payments you receive exceed both of these milestones in a calendar
year:

- $20,000 in gross payment volume for goods or services
- 200 payments for goods or services

We want to remove the limitations on your account as soon as possible. It's
easy — here's how:

1. Log in to your PayPal account.
2. A message will appear asking you to update your information.
3. Click Provide Now.

If you have multiple PayPal accounts, repeat these steps for each account.
After we've received and processed your information, we'll remove the
limitations on your account, and you'll be able to use PayPal without
interruption.

We appreciate your help in complying with these IRS rules. For more
information, see our FAQs on the IRS reporting requirements:
www.paypal.com/irs.

Sincerely,
PayPal
