Paypal Business account with EIN only!
 

one year ago on aug 2017 i've found a paypal link that gives you two option to create a business account 1 with payment pro need SSN and the other one without payment gate with EIN only and i've created one with my LLC EIN so now i need to create another stealth business accounts but i can't find this link anymore! i just found all of types require SSN and i've called paypal to ask for that and they told me SSN is required but i still believe i can find it again so anyone could help in this situation? i know most of you can't believe i've done that before.

Re: Paypal Business account with EIN only!
 

I have 3 business accounts with EIN only, so I believe you. When you go from personal to business account the recommended procedure in years past has been to put the EIN for EIN and EIN for SSN when you upgrade. I'm not sure if that method still works but it's how I upgraded all my accounts. Have you tried that?

If that doesn't work, you could try starting a personal account and then later upgrading to business and use the method I just mentioned.

I made 2 new ones last week and that is working fine still.

And of course if you call paypal, they are going to tell you what their books says.
They are not going to tell you: "Oh, we do ask for bananas, but there's this loophole where you can give us monkeys plantains instead and we'll be happy". =P

Put your EIN.

any idea when they're verified the provided SSN?

Tax time.

If a 1099 is sent to the IRS with an invalid SSN, the 1099 is rejected and your account runs into trouble.
