New ebay payments require SS#?


I received an email from ebay and they now will deposit your amount from a sale directly into your bank account.  So, they require your routing and account numbers.  But they also required my SS number, which I'm not sure I like.  They say the purpose is to comply with government regulations.  Is there any reason to think they would transmit the amount of your sales to the irs and issue you a 1099?  I only occasionally sell used items on ebay and don't consider any amount I receive to be taxable income.  Thoughts?

Expecting something to stay on topic here is like waiting for Tinkerbell to sit on your shoulder and advise which stock to buy/sell....

I don't object (more or less) to the police.
I do question shooting someone in the back of the head when shooting a tire or two is less permanent....or distressing.

Paying taxes isn't my main issue with that, what gets done with it is.

I have no problem with those of a conservative bent.  It's those that think that 1/6 was a bunch of rowdy tourists IS.

I'm a business owner, so hold your gripes towards me and about how mistreated the billionaires get leaned on...finally.

'Trickle down' only works when you don't make it to the restroom.
Otherwise, it's BS.

The only time I cough up my SS#  is on med or that which I normally expect to have to.  Over the 'net for anything else, NO.

We only use the 'net for 'client contact'; beyond that, it's direct 'twixt them and us.  Beyond that, 50% down or no go.  You don't cough the balance?

I'll show up and remove 50%, usually how to enter whatever.
The threat to do so is enough.
Disappointing children is a big enough fear, parents?  Oh, boy... ;)
