Paypal asks TAX ID for my stealth account
 

Hi guys
I just received an email from paypal that TAX ID information is needed for my stealth account.

What should I do?

US accounts after certain limits require a SSN or Tax ID.

You can apply for a Tax ID if you're a US citizen but if you're not than it's a little more difficult.

If you're unable to provide a TAX ID than you should back off on the account and start spreading out sales onto other accounts.

That said.. when you supply a TAX ID PayPal, it just attaches it to your account. C'est tout

I'm not a US citizen.

Also paypal asks for one of these not just tax ID
- Your Social Security Number (SSN)
- Your Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN)
- Your Employer Identification Number (EIN)

Can't I provide one of them from somewhere?

Should I stop selling and wait for how long?

Will that be ok if I don't sell for awhile and not provide one of these?

And meanwhile can I use my paypal for purchasing items?
