Let me summarize what you are saying and provide some input:
- You completed a form W-9 for eBay
- You have a SMLLC treated as a disregarded entity
- Based on the instructions to the W-9, you correctly used your individual name on line 1 and the business name on line 2
- You indicate that you used the EIN of your SMLLC in Part I
- Unless you have employees, you are not required to obtain an EIN, however, some taxpayer's obtain one so they don't give out their SS#
- The instructions to the W-9 Part 1 indicate that a disregarded entity can provide either the taxpayer's SS# or the SMLLC EIN if one was obtained.
- So based on the above, I believe you are okay. Just make sure you use the EIN on your Schedule C when filing your personal tax return
