I bought some concert tickets that I couldn't use, so it seemed pretty easy to sell them through the ticket master app. They did ask for my name, a credit card and even to link a bank account (which I don't like, but I have a checking account that I opened for PayPal/Venmo that I only keep a few hundred dollars in, so I just linked that).

The tickets sold and now they're saying they need my SS# in order to pay me out. Fucking bullshit. I assume its somewhere in the fine print, but I feel like the way they asked for all that other information except for the SS# before the sale is deceptive.

Asking for your SS# is nuts. I don't that's legit at all

Agreed, but I have confirmed that other ticket resellers (StubHub, etc) are also doing it because the IRS is requiring them to report sales above $600/yr, so you'd get a 1099. My sale was $85, well below the threshold.

I Karened and asked to talk to a supervisor and received a call back. I told him I was well below the threshold and he said that if I didn't want to provide my SS#, the $85 payment would be held until 2026 so they could confirm that I didn't reach the $600 threshold and then they would send it without SS#.

Pain in the ass for $85.

Of course the IRS is now involved. So basically it is pointless to be a reseller of tickets now... Ridiculous!
