Ni number

[F***ebay]

I’m sure this has probably been asked but been away from eBay for over and just started selling again on my old stealth account but have just received the add NI Number email.

Is there anyway around this at all? I’m guessing they match the NI with name and address?
If so how long do I have before I’m restricted?

😭

Are you physically located in the UK? Put your flag up firstly to clarify

Yea I’m in U.K. and I don’t know how to get into profile details I also don’t know why my profile name has changed from what I set it up as.

The OP is just a lazy person as the UK members have already written a plethora of info about NI already.

I’ve looked through it all actually and it’s conflicting answers from months ago!

Forum searched - there is a quite a bit of info about NI

It can be conflicting but sometimes the only way is to test and experiment yourself OP...

There's likely no way to avoid providing your NI number if eBay is requesting it. They probably do match the NI number to your name and address to verify your identity.

There is no way to get around entering a national insurance number. It is a government legislature requirement.

However, there is no current database, government or otherwise, that ties your national insurance number to an address.

The N.I information is at a request from the HMRC and they have a database with your address, N.I number etc to cross reference- This is all driven by HMRC so that people declare and pay the correct level of taxation
all ebay do is pass the information to them, they arent bothered if its correct or made up
