sales of estate property on ebay whos tax id mine or estate

My wifes father passed and we are the successor trustee. we are selling some of his ham radio equipment on ebay. Question is should we be using his estate EIN or our SSN? do i transfer the proceeds to the trust account when completed.  Also EBAY will send a 1099 next year will the basis be wiped out since it is inherited ?
