New ebay payments require SS#?

@chicagoblue1977 1. Thank you for your service. 2. There are Republicans in Chicago and yes, in Chicagoland too.

About eBay, I don’t like buying and selling on eBay. 1. eBay charges sales tax. 2. When you sell on eBay, even though you are not collecting the sales tax, PayPal charged its fee on your sales price PLUS the sales tax! As for audiophiles it is not a good place to be doing business. I shifted more and more of my transactions whenever possible to Audiogon or usaudiomart. Doing so is much better for both buyer and seller. My advice: ditch eBay. 

I won't be selling anywhere that requires banking and other information.
I remember ebay many years ago when I just sent check, money order or cash. Never a single problem. Where are we headed with all this ?

Madness in the USA
Are you really saying that sellers will pay tax on the gross proceeds of sale?
What about the cost price.  Crazy.
Does Walmart pay profits tax on its turnover??
Someone's got something wrong, even the US government isn't that stupid.

States now want sales tax on 'Net purchases sent to each state. The noose is tightening!

I go to work and earn money, the government takes a portion of my money for taxes.

I then buy something with that already taxed money and get taxed on my purchase.

Why is me selling that Item, that I paid tax on, with money I earned that was already taxed, taxable income when I sell it? Pay pal already does this now.

It's outrageous. We need to find another trust worthy method to pay each other here on Agon.
