When you signed up to sell on ebay you needed to provide your SSN so a 1099K form could be sent to you if you reached the threshold of sales that required you to be taxed by the IRS.
If you received a regular email saying you needed to add your SSN to your account or to verify it, that is likely a phishing attempt by some scammer. Look carefully at the originating email's url. eBay would not send you a regular email asking for that info.
