I have several questions and will provide a bit of background to help.
I have 4 ebay accounts - all created after ebay suspended my other 3 almost 3 years ago. All of my current accounts are in the names of friends of mine. I sell items that range from $8 - $60 or so and sell probably with all 4 accounts 110 items a week. So, I am not doing BIG business or am I selling any illegal items that I could be suspended for.
On 2 of my accounts I do not sell the $20 per year so currently I do not have to supply any ss # or such. The other 2 of my accounts do. Interestingly enough, 1 account, I have received probably 8 emails regarding adding the tax id #, ss# or such and the other -- absolutely NOTHING! Now, I do pay taxes on my income and I can get EIN # in the other persons names on the accounts if I need to but I have a couple of questions that perhaps someone out there might be knowledgeable about :
#1): One of my friends has passed away since she gave me permission to use her account - and this is the paypal that has had NO email requests for EIN # yet but can I get an EIN # in the business name and make me the sole proprietor without paypal linking my name and ss to the EIN? In otherwords, does it make ANY difference whos name is on the EIN and paypal if it is all under a specific business name? I believe my paypal is under a business name as well.
#2) is there a way to tell whether or not you have reached a certain $ or payment amount on paypal?
If someone can help with any insite, I would appreciate it. The EBAY Stealth Book sure helped me out in getting me back going I do enough to survive these days and that is my main goal I am not out to make a ton of money or to scam anyone BUT ebay! They are so not nice and unreasonable.
