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?

Everything would be fine IF Ebay claimed they were hacked or not?

No mater the reason your information is NOT safe anywhere. Silly to think it is.

BUT don’t just fling the door wide open for sloppy tax collecting policies.

It’s ALL about TAXES and people paying them or NOT. Nothing else.

Scammers hardly need Ebay to do it..

The government and those that collect money for them do.. I question all the collection is it actually going to the ol TAX Collector. That’s what I question... Is Ebay cooking the books? It would be absurdity to think they WEREN’T. They are as crooked as the tax collection process is.. How broke in that.. the US Tax system.. ALL OF IT.. Din of thieves

Ebay is not in the billions it's in the TRILLIONS
