EIN good enough for paypal?
 

So its 2012 now, everyone is asking for SSN, EIN, TIN or whatever else you use to verify your business/your identity.

So my question is, does a legit registered S corp EIN satisfy paypal for everything they need? Names, address, bank account all in business name.

or will they still ask for ID, bills, SSN and other documents?

Reason im asking is because EIN satisfies amazon, buy.com and merchant accounts without any additional documents needed. I just want to make sure im not wasting my time creating a new paypal and trying to sell on ebay again...

Do you already have the EIN for amazon or were you just referring to what they accept?

I already have one that I provided to them that they accepted/verified and sent me a 1099 with.

Paypal is a tard company if they choose not to accept it. Every other company accepts it with limited questions ask. Their only question is... what are you ( answer: president ) questions end.

Hy gamefreak, did you ever set up a Paypal account with an EIN?

update to this after searching the forums. I just got the email this thread is old and im wondering if any of you guys have only provided the EIN and what they ask for?
