The fact that people are selling parts to put money back into the system must not make any sense to the important people who run things.
STOP POTATO HATE!

Wasn’t there a thread recently about eBay now requiring sellers to give their SSN to them? It’s getting to the point where someone who just wants to unload spare stuff or get rid of some clutter can’t sell online any longer due to the tax hassles. For businesses selling online they already presumably are set up for taxes and have records of their purchases and sales revenues along with expenses so it is business as usual. For the guy who is just trying to sell some parts they’ve had gathering dust on a shelf for years, old toys, signs etc who knows how much they paid years ago or if they even came out ahead selling the stuff, so how do you calculate figures for tax purposes? Back to the old days of selling at swap meets I guess. Though some of those venues require information for the tax authorities too I’ve heard. Yup. One of my friends sells at Mopars in the Park as a private individual and Minnesota forced him to start collecting MN sales tax.

They do that here at the spring and fall swap meets held at the race track parking lot. They are required to tell you to fil out the tax forms, but a lot of people ignore it.

Give them one... Any one... pick a number... LOL
I do not give my SSN to anyone except when I am applying for a loan. Even when I go to the Dr's office I transpose a few numbers. Doctors do not need your SSN for medical treatment.
I share your sentiment, but that might cross into the area of "wire fraud" if online. A wrong SSN number match in a legit situation will eventually just flag you for more attention.

I say fukkem. I'd find another way to sell the items. With all our high-tech stuff, we have finally outsmarted ourselves.

News to me. Something new? Been on FB for almost 10 yrs, my (now ex) wife had set it up for me. I have minimal personal info on there. While I've never sold a car on there, I have bought and sold plenty of other things from Market place with no issues. I just went to mine and looked around, I don't see anyplace that asks for that info. It show up on mine yesterday when I clicked on "my account" in FB Marketplace. I just dismissed it.
Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

When I first read this I figured it was a scammer. If facebook actually wants my SSN I will not give it to them even if that means I can't sell on there. Too many places want your SSN and then people wonder why identity theft is a problem.

I've sold a few things through FaceSpace, BUT, I did not take payment through them.
I could see that being the defining line between needing an SSN or not.
If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.
