Activity: 0% Longevity: 51% | | Updating PayPal With a LLC Business Account
Paypal limited my stealth account because they want me to enter my tax info, I am in the process of creating an LLC I'm just waiting for the approval from my state, my question is I been looking into it yesterday and PayPal is not only going to want my EIN number but my SSN number also? My paypal accounts are permanently limited with my SSN is that going to effect my stealth account when I update it to a business account?

This is a tough question to answer. My 3 business accounts only have an EIN but they may have been grandfathered in since Paypal seems to be requiring SSN from everyone who tries to upgrade now. You used to just enter the EIN for the EIN + SSN fields. I'm really not sure if it works that way anymore.
For what it's worth you can get your EIN from the IRS, then form an LLC with your state months later.

I would try it first with the EIN number without filing with the state. That way, if it does not work, you dont waste money.

I'm getting some feedback saying the the SSN number would just be the last 4 digits and date of birth, if that is the case I'm wondering if it is only to verify the business and not my identity, can anyone confirm this?

what good is the last 4 digits of SSN?
The only time it is used is when you have registered with your SSN with a bank or cc issuer and the customer service staff does not see it,all he sees is that last 4 digits

Im need to put in a tax ID into PayPal with a EIN but I do believe they want my EIN and my SSN I'm trying to figure out if it's going to link my limited paypals which I do not want to happen, I am trying to figure out why PayPal would want both my EIN and my SSN I'm hoping it's just to verify my business with the IRS and not for my identity to link my accounts which I DO NOT WHAT TO HAPPEN!!!

Just use EIN number for both. It has been discussed here thousands of times over many years. Just search the forum and ready for a few hours if you have doubts.
The new thing is all the doc requests. We have been 100% successful ignoring them for more than a year. Other people we know are the same way. One or two people on this forum report different results. I personally think they have other issues altogether.

Thus Im likelu to get killed with my real info on the EIN statement as I have been deep sixed by PP hence Stealth.

if you browse this forum,some single owner LLC has been asked for his SSN,and for multiple owners ,it asks for SSN of at least one 25% owner .
Credit card can confirm your address and allow Paypal to charge $$ under certain circumstances !!

Paypal used to have personal vs premier account,then there is only personal and business account,both can accept credit card payments.
There is really no difference,but Paypal insists sellers to open a business account ,the rationale is that you sell enough,it is a business,so some folks just make up a name,never bother to register with the state or city.
