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.

Thx, just seems odd - I don't remember doing the SSN before

You have not sold in a long while.
