eBay will only allow PayPal
Even if it’s “local pickup only

That hasn’t been my experience. I often buy things there, as recently as last week and am able to use PayPal as well as my debit card or a credit card. No problems, ever.

I sometimes sell on eBay and have seen no issues regarding how a buyer pays for the purchase. I can choose where I want my proceeds deposited as well.

Buying isn’t a problem.

How long have you had a seller account on eBay?

Did they ask you for your soc sec #?

Did you sell anything this year?

Reason I ask is a relative had an account for a long time and sold long ago, and early this year he got a notification that eBay needed his soc sec #.

If he sells more than $600 in a year, he will get a 1099-R form.

EBAY:

I’ve had a seller account for a few years. I can’t remember if I had to give my SSN. I’m out running an errands but I can check later, If you want me to do that.

Interesting. I had the reverse problem...

I received a small check via a won class action lawsuit and had the funds directed to my paypal account.

Paypal started sending me notices that they needed my TIN as I received money.
Because you receive payment for goods or services through PayPal, you must verify your U.S. taxpayer status to avoid limitations to your account.

I called and got it cleared up
