I have an LLC and FEIN. I wanted to open a business account but paypal is asking for SSN. I have the LLC and EIN so I don't have to give my SSN. How can I get my account set up with my federal EIN instead of SSN?

I should add I am a single member LLC. As a result, Paypal wants me to sing up as individual and is mkaing me use SSN. I received an LLC and FEIN so I could avoid uing my SSN. The "Company" option does nit require a full SSN but it says it is for multi member LLCs.
