Yes I agree, something isn’t right here.  eBay is not going to ask for a SSN number to buy something any more than the local grocery store.

The SSN is only needed if you are setup as a seller so they can report income as required by the IRS. It’s no different to becoming an Amazon seller. The SSN is provided on a government W9 form. Any other reason or form of request may be a phishing scam.

�hadn't heard that yet.

Fisrt off it is ILLEGAL to have any company require your SS number for ident. Even hospitals etc can not legally require you supply that info.
BTDT� way too many times. Your SS is NOT ana 'national ident' number. Bt Fed law it is ONLY a SS usage number.� I work for DoD and they even changed over a couple years back from using your SS to having full up employee numbers.
