YPN locks publishers from tax info changes

I just noticed that Yahoo has locked the tax information page from any changes. This should prevent the selling of YPN accounts (which has always been against the TOS).

"To prevent accidental modification, the Tax Information page has been locked from modification. If you need to change your business status from a sole proprietorship to a corporation, please contact Customer Solutions. Please note that a transfer of account ownership is not supported."

 

good, about time they did something like this.

 

i agree, though someone could still change account ownership if they were clever about it.

 

I wonder if they would let a guy change the tax information like in january.. for example if someone is retiring from the business and handing it over to a relative?

 

no they wouldnt. that would be a transfer of account.

 

That's correct. They don't allow any transfers. They don't allow a name change on the account unless you provide them with documents that you are putting the account into a corporation you have formed. If the account was already in a corporate name, then they wouldn't know if you sold the corporation.

 

Finally, won't be anymore selling of accounts.

 

dont be so sure about that.

 

How would they? This is a great improvement.

 

definately a great improvement. if you are clever about it, there are more than a few ways to sell / transfer your account.

 

Obviously, but it's going to be alot harder and a lot easier to get banned.

 

Its about time, now people can stop selling account, or at least this will slow them down significantly.

 

Wow, that'll cut down half the spam in this forum.

 

HAHA are you kidding? Half the newbies don't even read these posts to know this stuff so they will keep asking if someone will sell them an account.

 

Lucky Me! I used that page a couple of days ago to change my address. I am happy I didn't wait until the 1st of the month

 

So true, so true.

 

haha, so true, but hey a guy can dream.

 

People still sale invites....only thing they cant sale is "used account"

 

Yahoo is run by smart people, sooner or later they will figure out a way to stop the sale of the invites permenantly.

 

You can still sell invites which go for 2x what an account goes for. Sales will continue and huge sums of free cash will be made.
