Ebay is suddenly asking for my social security number ...

Something I had listed just sold this evening and suddenly Ebay is saying I need to provide them w/my social before I can be paid?  Anyone else have this happen lately?

Anyone who is a US resident and selling on eBay must submit their social security number for tax purposes. eBay is required by the IRS to collect this information.

You have not sold in a long while. 

Lift your left leg at midnight to start off on the right foot. Happy new Year!

Guess you missed reading the several eBay ANNOUNCEMENTS posted on your Overview page about  conversions from the eBay/PayPal fee program to the newer Managed Payment program the was implement about 5  years ago.  Should not  have been a surprise.  Read what you missed .  When ya' snooze  ya' lose.
