Managed payment question?
 

What information does ebay access have to when it comes to address, id, and sin number? Do they have any access to public data base where they can confirm if the info you sent matches in Canada? I'm aware they have a algorithm but was deciding just registering with a generic ⊗⊗⊗⊗ sin if that is possible instead of entering ⊗⊗⊗⊗ id since I heard you have to send a id proof if you choose not to enter sin.

They are highly unlikely to have access to a SIN public data base legitly - a generic SIN that confirms to the algorithm would work. Issue is when they do the bank account access. If you don't enter SIN, yes you will have to provide other ID

There is no way the Canadian government will allow full access to the SIN database to any foreign company. Privacy legislation is a lot more strict.

eBay uses Lexisnexis for US verifications and there is a similar service provided by either Lexisnexis or Goeasy which eBay Canada uses.

For SIN? Its quite different vs SSN

Re: Managed payment question?
 

Unsure what you're getting at but when it comes to the verification there's a similar system for Canada which uses public database question and answers from this Goeasy place so not saying eBay themselves can track you by SIN but they use an outside company to do that.

Verification with algorithm is more likely

How do you pass verification with stealth details? I know at some point you will most likely eventually get required for photo id but I was asked to provide id as soon as I signed up for managed payments. The only thing I changed from my stealth details was adding the SIN number which I got from https://www.getnewidentity.com/get-canada-sin.php . What's the best way to pass the algorithm ?

Re: Managed payment question?
 

When you changed your stealth details, did you just put in a SIN? Or changed all info

Re: Managed payment question?
 

I just added the SIN # which I got from the SIN generator link, everything else was the same from when I first created the account with paypal. Now the only message I get on the selling tab is to update info or send an ID since they can't verify my stealth details. How did you manage to pass the algorithm with stealth details ? Would be much appreciated if you can help.

Thanks

Did you add a driver license number or sin? Which worked for you. Thanks
