Paypal Andy's statement: Once a limitation has been placed on an account, it will exist until the information or steps to lift it are removed. Once we ask for information and limit an account, even if you stop the behavior that caused it (in this case selling), you have to provide the information before you can continue using PayPal. I can completely understand where you're coming from, but if what you are mentioning was possible, we'd have customers who'd get right to the edge, wait until the beginning of the new year, then start up again. We can't have that (avoidance of tax laws and all that), so we have to minimize the loopholes where we can. Paypal Andy,, first off...I have over $20k in sales but only 23 sales transactions. I do not feel that PP needs to have my SSN because I will not be anywhere near the 200 transaction requirement set forth by the IRS. But something you said in the above statement disturbs me. You said "We can't have that (avoidance of tax laws and all that), so we have to minimize the loopholes where we can." Now I'm not even close and this is not my game but what gives PP the right to minimize the loopholes? Are you the IRS and did you make the rules that are now in effect? If someone wants to sell under the threshold...who cares. Why should PP care? PP is a company and they are there to make $$$. If a customer of PP wants to sell just under the threshold....why should PP care? It is PP's responsibility to report people with $20k in sales and over 200 transactions....THAT'S ALL!!! Your business is not to minimize the loopholes......that's what Congress and their laws are supposed to do. Please rethink what you said because it's utter nonsense.
