Honestly, I dont think he ever sold a single item never mind get a request based on his threads.

So to be clear, I personally have not had any issues using the last 4 of the EIN in place of the SS on any accounts from late summer to early fall. All are doing well and very healthy. Also, many reports that this also works from other long time and respected members on this forum with some I consider friends.

Problem is when you get stuck in that loop and have to call in to manually get it done, Reps can be persistent about the last four. I believe solefoodbk had some troubles and finally got them to add the EIN...

I guess I will have to call in and see what they say....or maybe I should wait until January and see if the info request goes away.

Just posting an update. 2 of my accounts got restored on January 16th. They were ones limited from having the 3rd tax request about 5 months ago. I didn't get an email, but when I logged in I got a message about them being restored.

On the flip side, my currently active account that had just the initial request in December got limited further with requests for a million items on January 16th.

I to am getting the notice every time I log into PayPal it's asking for tax ID or ssn. This is a stealth account so I can't provide this stuff. This started around Dec last year when dose it reset it's self? Cause it's a new year now but still hasn't reset it's self yet.
