Done selling on eBay, they are demanding my social security number to sell

They are forcing everyone into what they call "Managed payments" that requires  you to give them bank account information and your social security number. Looks like I'll be selling here from now on. I know I gave it to PayPal years ago so they have it, but I'm done giving it out. I called and the rep told me they are legally required to have it in order for me to sell. That is a load of crap.

Although I am not a Seller, I concur with your assessment. This "change" negates the whole internet business model per se.
Keep fighting the good fight!

Thank You for sharing this important information. It is going to be interesting to learn how eBay changes their payment option(s).
Prior to the eBay/Paypal union, I used to pay sellers via postal money order. Never had an issue.

Happy Listening!
