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?

Screw eBay, PayPal and the IRS. there are other ways to complete a transaction. Apple Pay, Venmo, Zelle, crypto and old school USPS money orders. No way am I paying tax on a item I already paid tax on when I initially purchased it. 
@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!
