How to change SSN from husband to wife?

[kpayco]

When we opened our Ebay account in the 90's, my husband was selling a few items. I am now the one who is selling items on the same account. How can we change his SSN to mine on our eBay account? I can't open a new account because I'm depending on all the feedback that I have already received.

I don't think the let you do that.

I wouldn't worry about 100 Feedback. My wife and I started a 7000 feedback account over to switch SSNs between us. People don't care once you get a few feedback.

If you file your taxes jointly, it might not be worth switching anyways.  I agree that I don't think you can change it, eBay accounts are officially not allowed to be transferred IIRC. You'd have to start over with a new account, but keep in mind the accounts will be linked, and while your new account will probably start off with a low selling limit, sometimes they'll raise it for you if you ask since they can see it's tied to the other account. (The opposite is true too, though, if either account gets suspended, they both will generally.)

You can't unless you turn his account into a business account, and then after a few months, try changing 'owner name' 'social sec #' and be sure bank account matches the 'new name' or...

Just eat it and start your own account. List inexpensive non typical scam items until you build up at least 10 feedbacks, then slowly increase. Most don't pay alot of attention to the 'feedback number' so not a big deal, they more care about 'what you are selling' and 'if they need it' (figuring you sell NON competitive items)
