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!

Nothing about the tax laws has changed in this regard. It has nothing to do with politics. What has changed is the tax collectors are catching up to all the people who were illegally evading taxes by dealing direct on the internet.

What this negates is people cheating on their taxes. If you approve of that as a "business model" then nothing I can do about that.
