If you're not American, you just click the button saying so, and that's the end of the process.
Actually americans have to do the same thing when they hit that barrier. Everyone does.
You can search for "200" and see the reference.
So, based on your 2nd statement, if I just click that I'm not US American, I don't have to provide any info at all? So then, what's the point? Even the US Americans can take advantage of that.
So you're saying you're ok with giving out your SIN # to some company you know very little about?
Even if you're not a US citizen then you have to provide some information.
Since it's December 17, just wait for January 1 and the counter will reset to 0. Then you can list 200 items in 2018 without providing information.
The "point" is that it's a legal requirement. If some Americans want to commit tax fraud, that's their risk to take.
I wasn't worried about reaching my 200 limit. I'm currently at 165 and don't really have anything else I'm willing to sell at the moment (aside from the 43 items already on the market which aren't likely to all sell), but that is irrelevant to me because in 2018, this might become an issue depending on how many games I play / buy and receive items to sell again. Which is why I bring it up now. It's a concern and I'd like to figure this out before it does become a problem in the future.
I also don't understand why this is even a thing that exists. The stuff I sell is usually only worth $0.01 - $0.10 anyways. So I might make at the most $10 in a year, most of which is usually spent on other items... that's hardly worth the IRS / tax involvement. Which is why this whole thing seems very suspicious to me.
They want my real name and address for some reason among a few other things... seems like I could probably fake it, but that's probably pointless since they grab that info from me every time I add funds to my account anyway. Overall, it does seem like a dumb procedure to me, even for the US Americans... and I do still think it's wrong that they need to provide a SIN number. But if / when the time comes, I think I (as a Canadian) can comply with it. Just as long as I don't need to provide my SIN number or anything else that Steam doesn't deserve to know.
Pointlss or not, it is the law in U.S. Valve, as a U.S. based company has to follow them. As a non U.S. citizen, I believe all you are required to provide is your name and address.
as for faking it, doesn't sound like a good idea. You could probably get a market/trade ban once it is discovered.
So the Taxman says to Valve, "Hey, you gotta let us know how much those pimply fourteen year-olds you got on your website are making from selling fictitious cards and whatnot. Let 'em know that Section 457.3517-OU812, Paragraph B of the IRC, says that we got the authority to ask for, and obtain, this information.
Then Valve replies, "O.K., Mr. Taxman, we'll be sure to collect that for you."
Then the Taxman says, "Excellent. Hmm, wait... on second thought, instead of that 'I.R.C.' acronym maybe you should fully spell out what it stands for."
Valve: Why?
TM: Well, not everyone's heard of the Internal Revenue Service, or our Revenue Code --which we're quite fond of, by the way. You know, 'Internal Revenue Code' has a nice ring to it. It's very official sounding, and we've found that when people hear that they get a little worried. We like that. Especially when they get so worried that they tell us-- Wait! What if people think it stands for Internet Relay Chat?!?
Valve: Don't be ridiculous. Most folks will be able to get the gist of it from the context. Even Canadians. Besides, we don't actually use that communications protocol anywhere on Steam, so how would anyone jump to such a bizarre conclusion?
TM: Ok, ok. Sounds good, you sold me. But....
Valve: But what?
TM: What?
Valve: But what?
TM: What's a buttwhat?
Valve: No! You said, "But."
TM: Oh? Oh, yes! I'm sorry, I was going to say, what if your users think it stands for "International Rhinoplasty Convention?"
Valve: That's just silly. They're not going to mak--
TM: Intra Rectal Cavity!! They could assume we're... Look, we just can't take that chance, we'll be the laughingstock!
Valve: Will you quit your worryin', man? You're just being paranoid. Nobody is going to make these ridiculous assumptions.
TM: Oh yeah? Well... I mean, how can you be so sure?
Valve: Because the people who use our Steam service are actually pretty smart...
Finnish person here, I just posted my info on the non-US form years ago and I haven't heard from them since.
