Had a sale the other day. Waiting for a payout so I can record how much the sale was actually for. Went to look and the account was on hold pending me uploading some additional info. Last go around they wanted SSN and direct checking account access (after they and Paypal split ways). Circa this locked thread:
I held out, came back a couple months later and they only wanted last four of SSN. I made it up and DOB and that went through fine. Now they want scanned front and back of DL or passport and DOB and also articles of incorporation or similar documents from business. I think I've had enough. I got on support chat and informed them I'm done if they don't drop the personal info request. No issue with business docs or EIN. They kinda divulged in the customer service rep's attempts to appease me by copying sections of the user agreement that they will be able to sell the data. Too bad, I've used them for a long time.
ebay's new Managed Accounts
I know a lot of you sell your extra tooling on ebay. I do as well, though I usually post here first. So now ebay has decided I need to give them access to my checking account and my SSN. This is just a hobby thing to me, selling the things I no longer am interested in, so no tax implications...
