I just opened an account today and all I needed was my bank account number. A few days ago, the requirements were either a selfie plus a bank statement or an ID plus a bank statement. It seems like they are changing the requirements, and some people are getting different responses.

NOTICE:

You all may disagree with anything.
Debate the issue with class, prove each other wrong until you all come to an agreement LIKE ADULTS.

what I do NOT tolerate is abusive rubbish talk and replies.

This is your one and only warning.

It must be an issue with your account creation process. I'm not getting asked for a selfie in Canada

I created a new account recently. There was no selfie request. After my auction listing ended and automatically relisted, my account was suspended five days later. I called to ask for reinstatement, but they said I could not appeal

It takes time for the bots to roam a site with millions of listings.

Brother this is 100% a US thing. But it comes down to account creation. Make sure your account creation is solid as a rock brother and I would advise wait 30 days before turning the account into a seller account you can then say goodbye to those stupid ID requests and bank statements.

Sounds like a long time, maybe it was for some other reason not your relisting. Check the email for exactly when it was suspended. Could be you logged in from a low quality ip or timezone mismatch, something

I checked the email, and it indicated five days; that’s why I mentioned it was five days. I'm unsure about the low-quality IP. What do you mean by "timezone mismatch"?
