<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">If I am not mistaken, ebay is NOT requiring SSNs as a form of identification. I believe I read an article recently that says the IRS is cracking down on them and requiring them to report on transactions so the IRS can assess taxes that are due (much like when a company sends a form 1099 to contract workers). That does require a SSN or other TIN be provided.</span>

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.</span></p>

Even hospitals etc can not legally require you supply that info.<br>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.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
