Hello nickchienbinh,

 

Welcome to the Community Smiley Wink.

 

PayPal must have a valid Tax ID number on file for sellers that are approaching or have crossed the threshold outlined by the IRS. 

 

In 2011, if you do not provide your tax ID number (Social Security Number (SSN), Employer Identification Number (EIN), or Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN)) after we’ve requested it, we may place the following limitations on your account:

 

  •   You’ll be unable to receive funds into your account.
  •   You won’t be able to close your account.

The limitations will be removed after your provide your tax ID number. More information provided here.

 

 If you are being asked for this information it would be best to call PayPal directly and we can take a look at your account directly.
