eBay asking Passport ID for Stealth account

ranjith · #1 03-16-2022

Hi everyone,
I have been using a friend's eBay account for the last 2 years and I have more than 107 positive feedback. Right now Monthly I am selling £1000 - £1500 job lot items. Today, eBay asked me to submit a photo ID. I just have a passport ID which expired 2 months back.

Any input is highly appreciated....

Ask your friend to provide an up to date photo ID.

Or edit the passport

Actually he is our friend's friend . I tried to contact him. But no luck. That's why I am asking for valuable suggestions here.

But how ? Is that possible to edit ?

So it is not a problem if I change the passport issued and expiry dates ?

seriously, get your friend to talk to your friend...

If they check with some online verification service and the expiry id doesn't match might be bad news for you

Are you sure you actually have this person's permission to use their information?

I wouldn't be doing that. Creative documents do not work on ebay Managed Payments. Only real and valid documents will work.

Keep trying to contact the person and get valid ID from them. Any other course of action will result in account suspension.

OP, listen to Ebayorbust - situation seems odd indeed - "Friend of a friend"...

Finally I contacted him after 3 days of struggle, He sent me a new passport ID and I submitted it to eBay straight away. Hoping for a positive response from eBay.

Thanks a lot for your inputs.

Good job.
He must be a real good friend to allow you to use his information.
