National insurance number

So i was always told never give your national insurance number out. I will not. Because ebay is a world wide company who will have people hacking. So if we did give our national insurance number out? How long would it be before ebay sold our details? Imagine all the fake phone calls we will get? Especially how call centres rip old people off. They will be phoning asking for ni details. Then you will find people using your details for everything. So the best answer to this is quit ebay, do do market place or Vinted. Because that's the same. Do a carboot sale and see what happens. Labour love all of this. Watching the small person cry. It's bullying.

NI request comes from HMRC when private sellers exceed tax limits.

This will also apply to Vinted. 

If you fail to supply it, you may have your account suspended.

eBay will not sell your details.

 

Vinted will also want your National Insurance Number.

I quit ebay. There's no way I am doing it. That's selling your soul to satan. I give it one year and some hack centre will have everything. It will be on the news. It's a disaster waiting to happen.
