This is what caused me to let me eBay seller account die - they demanded Social Security Number (SSN) to continue selling. Call me crazy but giving my SSN to a company where the C-suite thugs sent live cockroaches to bloggers for negative articles seems like a bad idea.

Was this before or after they had to force-reset everyone's account password because their user data was compromised?

The ask last 4 now only. At least they no longer asked full SSN from me, like they did initially.
