Nothing to lose so worth a try!

Some comments are unbelievable, yes amazon have access to numerous databases as they are classed as an EU bank. If for example you have a South Korean pp they will ask for a copy of it, plus household bills etc to prove your identity. If they don't like what they see they will not open your account, SIMPLE

so what if someone uses a canadian id or say a chinese or a singaporean ID
does that mean they have access to all these databases.I think they might have it for EU or maybe US but what about all these countries or many more like them

thats what I say ... they can't possibly have access to all databases in the world.

In my opinion they don't even care since it is not a policy the company has made up. Its just required by european law, so they don't bother.

Noone knows for sure, so why don't you just try it out like I do ?

Hi seppl42, how old and how active is the account you mentioned here? Also did you provide DE id numbers only? Have they asked you for any other docs?

[Seppl42]

5 Months old, sold 2-3 K a Month. After 3 months they asked for additional proof. I had 28 days to provide the papers. Did not and switched to another account. Provided german details.

The Mail said you cannot use "Amazon Payments" anymore if you don't provide your ID. I deleted all bank and creditcard info from the acc and let it sit.

However, they still owe me a few bucks and don't pay them out because I don't have a valid credit card on file anymore.

Maybe I should reactivate it and see if they pay me then or not ^^

I can still sell with that account if I would though ...
