Stealthseller | 05-14-2011 10:28 AM | Does PayPal still need my SSN if I provide a TIN? I am a frequesnt reader of the posts here and have benefited from those and here is my story.
I set up stealth ebay and PP accounts in Nov 2010 and sold low value VERO items. I have been climbing the selling limit ladder since then, 10 item/500, 20/500, 40/1000, etc until today I called eBay and now I am at 150/$5000 per month.
As sales increase, the possibility of being limited is increasing; of course my PP account will be gone once it is limited because I have nothing to document.
My question: if I give PayPal a TIN now, will it decrease my chance of being limited? If limited, will a TIN work? Will I have to provide my SSN or PP has a way to track my SSN from a TIN? My SSN is permanently locked by PP.
Thanks. |
