I last listed and sold in 2018! I decided to stop using eBay as a selling platform out of fear of scammers. I'm now listing a few designer items in the $150 - $500 range, and am still afraid of scammers, but am using the "best offer" feature to hopefully weed them out.
I just recently noticed that some in this forum are mentioning that eBay has requested their SSN. There is no way I would provide that to them! I'm not a business seller, and as I've mentioned, hardly sell at all. Will I have to provide additional information to them if I do make a sale?
I apologize if this has been discussed and also apologize for not searching eBay for the answers. Thank you in advance for any thoughts
Edited to add that I did some searching and think that I would only need to provide my SSN if I agree to their Managed Payments.
