Hey all, got a new phone, bank account, IP, the works, wondering if using an EIN instead of SSN will help prevent linking to old SSN toasted egay account. If so, how does one claim income for this, using personal SSN or the EIN? Cheers

You should be good since taxes are paid at POS.
As for a workaround the EIN>SSN issue, incorporate another LLC, and name your wife, or brother, or someone, the Owner/Founder, and you can also use the multi-headed LLC approach, and claim beneficial owners..

Etsy does NOT like any declined transactions, especially after a password reset...I would recommend not doing anything but browse for 24 hours after changing any info on the account, or switching to a new IP from a mobile, etc...
Just wasted email addresses, NBD but yes I see what you mean about letting it sit, just seems like when I am that active I get suspended, I was being careless.
Time to make new user accounts lol..

You are not linked by your SSN. Since 2020 I have reused my SSN on five different accounts. Now, each account is still using basic stealth like change of number, business name, business type, address, ip, etc etc.
The actual SSN I personally can confirm causes no linkage. It is using the same Etsy model.

If I use the same phone number twice that is a direct link, automatic ban. There is nothing more personal than SSN, cannot go get another one.

Ayden gets the SSN so it may not share with eBay under privacy laws as they are separate companies. As Ayden does not know if you have been suspended they will still keep taking the info on new accounts and not report it to eBay.

Do you put in multi-member llc or single-member EIN to ebay ? because as soon as you put the owner name ebay takes that and converts the entire account to your real name. so you will get linked by name? correct me please

A name alone, is nothing. I have three eBay accounts using my real name and all is well.
