Selling without PayPal

Paypal is now asking for my soc sec # so they can report my sales to uncle Sam so he can tax me at 25%.... :icon_fU:

Or they will limit me to just sending payments or friends and family only...

Do you sell a fair amount?? I doubt I have hit the $400 mark for sales this year and haven't seen that.

If the government does that, seems like you would have to create a business just so you could report the shipping as a cost of business rather than absorb it all as income. Yikes.
