Dew, thanx for the heads-up.
And question for you, or anyone else who can answer this: While it's general consensus these guys are straight-shooters, pay out honestly, timely, etc.... Yet there seems to be a bug:
I've heard they're asking for tax-payer ID #'s (social security #'s). I can understand if it's for purposes of if they're receiving stolen goods (like how some pawn shops ask for ID's, etc...). But .... on the other hand, it could be that they're complying with IRS laws for 1099 issuances. You know, like if they pay out over $600 per calendar year (or perhaps the dollar amount is different for this type transactions?), that they might report the issuance of "income" to the IRS.
Does anyone know if this info. is passed on to the IRS, as a form of income, that will then be matched to tax returns, to see if you "reported" the income ?
