What Will Happen! Think About It!

greg2414 · 07-16-2008, 05:51 PM

If ebay decide to add either passports or driving licenses or even national insurance number indentification, there would be no way arounf that.

I understand that not everyone will have a d. license or a passport but i'm sure everyone who is 18+ has a national insurance number.

Also not long ago the government were on about releasing a national I.D unique to everyone. This would make it probably impossible to create more than 1 account.
So before this happens, why not get as many accounts together AS YOU CAN!

how very interesting

philly387 · 07-16-2008, 09:47 PM

That would be a very good reason to start making new accounts. I will have to get on that. Usually ebay warns us of this stuff before it happens though.

paybay · 07-16-2008, 09:50 PM

you are really paranoid
is ebay all you think about

importracer150 · 07-16-2008, 10:27 PM

Hes right, the rules can change any minute, anytime. That new CEO is changing alot of stuff around latley. Get many accounts now, I just made 268 last month.

paybay · 07-16-2008, 10:29 PM

lol 268

you people are goin nuts about ebay

philly387 · 07-16-2008, 10:41 PM

Isn't that what this forum is for? People that want to know everything about ebay?

paybay · 07-16-2008, 10:43 PM

but isn't creating 268 ebay accouts going abit over the top

philly387 · 07-16-2008, 10:46 PM

I'm sure he has a reason for doing it...but I am not sure what exactly it is.

paybay · 07-16-2008, 10:49 PM

well im not even gonna try to think about his reason

becuse he must have alot of reasons

importracer150 · 07-16-2008, 10:52 PM

These 268 accounts will age over the years and be worth like gold thats the reason.

philly387 · 07-16-2008, 10:57 PM

That's a good reason

Gold is always priced well!

If ebay/paypal added passports or driver's licences it would be game over for multiple accounts. They could ask for your passport number and this can be check in seconds on the passport office site to see if the information matches. Even if youve got 500 accounts, whats stopping paypal adding passport verification to existing accounts?

On the other hand, to some extent EBAY wants multiple accounts, to maintain the appearance of forward business development.

Same way AOL would include everyone who signed up for a free 30 day trial in their financial statements, as booked paid members.

These membership based internet sites want to do everything possible to increase their ranks, or at least make it appear that their ranks are rising.

greg2414 · 07-19-2008, 09:09 PM

They probably wont add the passport/drivers license thing because not everyone has one.

BUT a new uk i.d will soon be issued so id be prepared for that.

Im guessing it's like u.s ssn?

boondoggle · 07-19-2008, 11:27 PM

True, for now, but there are plenty of other sites where you are required to send copies of passport or driver's licences if you are sending or receiving money . I dont think its beyond the realms of possibility that PayPal would start doing the same (or be forced to!) especially if the amount of news about counterfeit goods on ebay/ online in general carries on. Obviously its not in their interest- stock price, but legally its got to happen sooner or later.
I wouldnt worry about our ID cards- we are in the UK! our gvt couldnt organise a piss up in a brewery, it will take them years to sort that out
