    Ebay sent me a w9 form. I just want to make sure this is legitimately from Ebay.
                     

    I was mailed a W-9 form from Ebay. I have never been mailed anything from Ebay. I need to verify this is really from Ebay.

    eBay will send a paper request for your taxpayer ID (W9) when the IRS tells them your SS# does not match their records.

     

    You can ask customer service to verify that the request came form them.

     

    The easiest way to do this is to post a private message on social media. www.facebook.com/ebay  www.twitter.com/ebay  

     

    To speak to customer service, use the link on the right side of this page “have us call you” - https://www.ebay.com/help/eua?id=5275&mkevt=1&mkpid

     

    If you don't see 'have us call you', click chat.  Then type contact an agent.

    I decided to search for the return address online, and learned that this address came from a single residence!
