<p>[QUOTE=&quot;OldRetiredGuy, post: 8147378, member: 105878&quot;]I have been using FB marketplace and Craigslist for several years in an effort to downsize after 50 years of marriage we have way too many things. I received a pop up on FB about 2 weeks ago with limited details about the collection of SSN&#039;s. </p><p><br /></p><p>I followed the referenced link <a href="https://www.facebook.com/help/704722346920952/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.facebook.com/help/704722346920952/" rel="nofollow">Why do I need to provide my tax identification information when I sell with shipping on Facebook Marketplace? | Facebook Help Center</a>&nbsp; and read it several times. If you do so, go to the next to last paragraph and see if you agree that the SSN stipulation is for anyone using FB&#039;s checkout payment system and their shipping option? This is how I read it. </p><p><br /></p><p>I always have in my ads that buyers must pick up the item(s) at our home and only offer shipping by simply stating I would be willing to ship via USPS for a set amount and total to be paid by Money Order or Paypal.</p><p><br /></p><p>IRT Ebay&#039;s new rules dictated by IRS, since all I sell are personally accumulated items from the past 50 years, I have NO intention of trying to figure out what I paid for something 20 years ago and how much of a loss or profit I may have made from it in the interim period, so I will be limiting any of our ebay activity to less than $600 as the bookkeeping nightmare is just so not worth the effort. This will mean more craigslist, FB and ultimately donations to the local charity store.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
