OP8 months agoWhen I asked him for my 1099k and saw 12 months of sales in my name. He claimed the account that he created in my name and ss# was changed into his info. It's not even possible to change the ss# on an established account. I was only aware of 2 months of sales in my name until I requested the 1099k from him. I have had an established account in my name that I only purchase on for over 10 years. The account he created was in 2024. Even having an already established account from 10 plus years ago I had no clue there was even a second account in my name. My ss# was never needed for my 10+ year account because I didn't sell, and still don't.

That's not good - who is the "him" that you're referring to - is this someone you know personally?
eBay can definitely determine if someone else is using your SSN & identity - that's serious fraud, he can be facing legal/criminal problems. They would likely close his account and take further action.
If you're trying to find out before taking any legal action, try your ssa.gov account or IRS, there should be a way to see what's being reported under your SSN.
For eBay - best option is to contact one of the social media teams to investigate this - esp if you have their seller name, real name etc.
Only use Private DM/PM Messaging - do not post your account info publicly.
Give them your User ID, your real name/address/country, the email attached to your account, and explain the issue in detail.
They usually respond in a day or two.

"is still" - does that mean you are aware someone has been doing it already and how were you informed.
