I very rarely sell things on eBay. I sold something tonight but I don't even remember the last time I did before tonight.

When I signed in to collect the payment from the buyer, it said I needed to provide my social security number for tax purposes.

Is this legit? Is this something new that they're requiring now?

When FDR created social security, he said the number would never be used for identification purposes.

What about if two people make a transaction within paypal, eg, a person sends you money unilaterally because you covered their bill at a restaurant the other day. Do they still require SSN?

Its not just for taxes. It could be AML requirements.

I've only sold one thing in the past few years (today) and it was for less than $30.
