It could be worthwhile asking him about specific actions that might cause suspensions, specifics about what exactly causes PayPal limitations, and maybe even if there's a way to circumvent providing a SSN, etc.
Now, of course the guy is in no way obligated to answer sensitive questions, but I think this IAmA is going to be done anonymously so he just might be willing to divulge something, or at least give us hints.
From speaking with his friend it sounds like he will go for a yellow star by emailing one of the reddit mods from his ebay.com/paypal.com email address. A yellow star on reddit means that the reddit mods have confirmed that the person hosting the IAmA really is who they say.
I'll post back when it's all finalized.
BTW, mods, sorry if I posted this in the wrong section before. I wasn't really sure where to put it. Did I freak some of you out with the original title?
