I'm getting the following notice on my Ebay account. It's on my sales page, I don't consider it a spoof.

"Your payouts are on hold until you update your account details. Please update by Jan 03, 2023 to avoid further restrictions."

When I click on the link it asks for my bank routing number and account number.

I have never had money from Ebay sales sent to me, I just buy more junk!
Why is this starting now?

I had that* thought, but, why does Ebay need my bank info for that.
Also, this should not be taxable income, I paid more for the items than I sold then for.
Oh! I get a long term capital loss to write off. Right? :-(

The bank account number has nothing to do with the IRS. It's probably eBay policy for people who sell on eBay.

You have to give a SSN to open a bank account, but not to register on eBay.

Do NOT use the link provided. Go to Ebay directly without the link and
look at your account. Assume the link is a phishing message unless/until
you learn otherwise.
