Suggestions on Paypal EIN
 

Hey everyone. Currently i have received from paypal that i need to provide a EIN or a SSN because i have already reach my 200 selling limit. I am currently using a ghost ebay/paypal account under my friends address and i don't know what to do. I am 17 years old and i was wondering if i could apply for an EIN and would it link/match my name to the paypal under my friends name? Also would i need to pay taxes if i have a EIN? The items i sell are $5-$9 and on a monthly basis i am making $100-$130 a month which isn't a lot. I have had this account on May 2014 and have been told by paypal to provide that information. I have never reached 20k so what should i do? I have also seen a post about someone saying that if i haven't reached 20k then it shouldn't matter. Also someone told me i could i just link another paypal account with a different name and address but i don't know if that would work. Would that cause to have a fresh new 0 sold unlike the one i am currently using with 200 sold? Please help me guys i am very confused on what to do....

this is why you need stop creating stealth accounts never rely on one no matter how small is the amount you are making it could be months or days after PP WILL always ask for some type of ID never forget this

in your case first off lets start from fresh than if your account is suspended you need to wait 6 months until you somehow get your money

if not check what can you do with that account in your resolution and decide what you want to do, I know you want to keep that account but trust me forget about it after all its a stealth

My ebay isn't suspended though that's the thing. Also i am still avaliable to withdraw money and still receive money from the stuff i am selling as of now. And i can't just put another paypal to it? And if i can't put another paypal could i just let that account sit for a year and come back to it?

If you cant provide the information required your only option is to wait the 180 day period if its limited. I hope you got all your funds withdrawn cause that will suck if did not, were you selling Branded items? that may be the reason.

No. I have my own brand of e-liquid. It's kind of popular since i have all positive feedback. I could still withdraw and receive though. But the question is that could i just add another paypal to that ebay so it could start fresh with 0 transactions on the new paypal?

You can add OTHER payment options for the eB like paymate, skrill or propay but not PP again.

You need to learn stealth for new combos
