SIN Requirement From Ebay. Thinking of changing to Business Account. Any advice? | Selling

I just received the notification from ebay for my SIN for CRA (or I can be fined by the CRA up to $500). I declare ALL my sales on all platforms so I'm not hiding any income. But I still don't feel comfortable at all giving ebay my SIN. I sell on another bookselling platform and there I'm using my business number which is fine. So, I'm thinking of changing my ebay account from Individual to Business (ebay business accounts enter the business number for CRA, not the SIN). Before I do though I just want to solicit any opinions on this, especially from sellers who have done this already. I'm wondering if it will affect any of my listings? My banking info will stay they same, will that work? What about fees and such?Any help and info on this would be greatly appreciated.ThanksNorm
