I was trying to update my address on Fotolia and saw I was listed as Buyer there (I do upload and sell photos, though). And I don't remember that option when I was registering. I tried to change it to Photographer - and was prompted to enter my SSN.
Well, I'd rather not give my SSN at this moment. So I got back to "Buyer".
I tried to withdraw money through PayPal and it looks it should work.
The question: If I can, being a "Buyer", upload and sell photos and get my money, why do I need this "Photographer" and telling my SSN?
