Photodune Tax Problems.

Desintegrator:
Hi!
I was trying to fill the tax forms for Photodune. I'm not a US citizen, but with my country of residence i get 0% witholding on all sites.

Photodune wants me to add a tax identification number otherwise the witholdin stays.
Isn't there any other option?  There is no other site were I had to give tax ID number, and my tax forms are OK everywhere else.

Any advice?

Noedelhap:
To the right of the third option is the option Foreign Tax ID number. Select that and enter your own country's tax number (often your personal social security number).

Yes, I see that, I'm just wondering why shout I give that to Envanto, when no other site needed that to solve the tax withholding issue.
Normally I just proved which country i am from, and that was it, no need for any Id number

Desintegrator:
But there's more...
In October I had 2 sales so far. Tax is withheld in both cases. (And why is the amount that high??!!)

According to the earnings page, the two sales came from Canada and Germany!  Why is that amount held back? Am I being screwed here?

I don't understand this..  Am I actually ending up with 41 cents after a medium sale which costs $3?!

Desintegrator:
How can $42 of tax be withheld when I receive $25?  That's 62% tax being withheld from sales from which not every one went to the US... I'm confused.
