New ebay payments require SS#?

@deadhead1000 perfect name for you.... like I said it was sarcasm. 

And yes I am police and I know how my underfunded pension works here in Chicago. 
Smoke em if you got em. 

@mtrot  I did initially send them my account number along with routing number. Then the next step they wanted my password to that bank account!. I backed off and never gave it to them. Did you have to give your bank account password?

@markpao
No, my bank account password was never requested.

@mtrot,

You are correct, I meant to say eBay, my mistake. I read this I believe from one of the Stereophile writers.  It is also written into the 2018 tax law that online sales by private party’s will be subject to paying Federal Taxes on their sales starting with the 2021 income taxes. I understand PayPal is involved. I wonder if I will get a 1099 for everything I already sold this year?  I hope not as I practically gave away the GE Triton Ones I sold.  Paying a tax on that sale is would really add insult to injury. 

I know I have received several emails on eBay’s change in “how you get paid” 

Have not bothered to read these notices because I have not sold anything on their platform in some time.

Next we will have a VAT Tax.....oops before you get your panties in a wad I am kidding.
