My question involves business law in the state of: Texas
I just formed a Texas LLC. I am currently registered on eBay and have been using it as a SP. I also have a Paypal account which I registered under my name and SSN.
I also started another LLC for Amazon at the same time. When I switched the Amazon account information, it specifically allowed a change in the Legal Entity, the TIN and the bank account number, so it is completely switched over (unlike eBay where selling and payment processing are handled by two separate entities, eBay and usually Paypal, on Amazon everything is integrated into one account).
For eBay though, it just says Registrant (First and Last name) and Business Name. It doesn't say or show that the entity is separate from a person like an LLC would be or that the account is registered in the name of the LLC
How do I know that I am contracting with eBay and with my customers as an LLC? I know of cases like Hazer v. Zabala because a contact was signed xxxxxx DBA xxxxxxxxx LLC, the person was found to be liable.
Is it necessary to start a new account (I'd rather not, at least for eBay. On Paypal it would be OK but would rather not use SSN if not required to.)
