I had someone contact me about buying a banner spot on one of my blogs. After a few emails we agreed on a price etc. So I sent him an invoice as per his request and today he sent me back an email telling me that that since I am in the US he will need me to fill out a W-9 form. Is that normal? I have sold banner spots in the past and never had anyone ask this. To me it is a media buy and the invoice should be good enough for his tax records.
