Social security number

macsporran — Wed, 16 Jun 2021 12:09:26 GMT

A private seller, I'm now beimg asked to enter a social security number or an ITID before I can be paid after sale. What are these? In thge UK we don't have SS numbers, we have National Security numbers but I'm certainly not putting that on ebay along with my date of birth - that's asking for trouble with Identity theft.

I've been selling on ebay since it started. Do I now have to go and sell elesewhere?

Make sure you are signed in to ebay.co.uk not .com when entering details,you may have to clear cookies as well.

Thanks Stephen - when I hit "List with displayed Fees" button it automatically takes me to ebay.com. Do you think cookies could be causing this? How would I clear them? Thanks

It could well be a cookie transferring you to .com especially if you have looked at anything on there recently,it may also be an eBay glitch,plenty of them around,just run a web search for how to remove cookies as i dont know what device/browser you are using
