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.

I am done selling too.

People, stick together. Refuse to let businesses own your most crucial information. Years ago when they raised fees people stepped away and ebay budged. 

I will sell on CL, and for every item there is a forum on the internet with a classified section. They are free. I am forced to save some money and I am gonna take it.

This "Identitiy" is a lie. I have been on ebay since 1999. They know who's who.

They want to save money on the "money back guarantee" when a seller flakes. 

Not my problem. It's getting too expensive anyways. Let big businesses with thousands of items for sale pay the fees. No way to sell a  pair of boots I provide SSN and Bank account.
