Steam store page setup
Hi there, I have 3 questions about setting up a steam direct account as a South African. Please help if you already setup and Steam store page.
1. I used my main profile to pay for the steam $100 fee. But now it said I must change my steam profile name to my real name. Is there some work around? (Should I make a new account for my friends?)
2. As a non American it says i'm eligible to claim tax treaty benefits and I must provide my country of tax residency Foreign TIN (Tax identification number). So the problem is I'm not tax registered, is there some work around or must I get a tax number?
3. Any other Steam set-up tips you could share?

Basically you can just fill it out with your Sa ID number for TIN. You don't have to call the irs for a TIN. Read it up yourself though for due diligence.
