New eBay sellers - All asking for ID and selfie now?
 

Anyone successfully passing the verification where you submit a Photo ID and a bank statement?

VS the way asking for a selfie with the document?

Re: New eBay sellers - All asking for ID and selfie now?
 

if you're getting this, there might be a problem with the way you make the accounts.
the chance of bypassing this is very slim especially for newly created accounts.

Is ebay asking for selfie now?

Re: New eBay sellers - All asking for ID and selfie now?
 

Selfies? Thats ****en weird. Although I think amazon did something similar when I tried signing up for them (or maybe it was just a zoom call I forget)

Re: New eBay sellers - All asking for ID and selfie now?
 

Happened on and off with eBay for a while but most the time its due to a limitation not on account creation

Re: New eBay sellers - All asking for ID and selfie now?
 

It's happening on all new accounts. Don't believe otherwise.

Re: New eBay sellers - All asking for ID and selfie now?
 

Opened two accounts in September 2024 and did not get this message.

Re: New eBay sellers - All asking for ID and selfie now?
 

Maybe for you....

Don't go around spreading untruthful info when what you said is not correct at the slightest....

Re: New eBay sellers - All asking for ID and selfie now?
 

It's happening on all new accounts. It's either a selfie + bank statement or an id + bank statement. Don't believe otherwise.

Re: New eBay sellers - All asking for ID and selfie now?
 

No its not. Moreover, on ebay.com, under, "registering as a seller", it says, "we'll need to confirm your identity and in SOME CASES we may need you to send us a photo of a valid form of identification."

So, during account creation, if you throw any flags, they will ask for ID.

I'm talking about creating a usa eBay seller account. Who cares about making a buyer account? 10/10. When it comes to creating a seller account, it will ask for a selfie and bank statement or an ID and bank statement. Prove me wrong, I dare anyone to

Re: New eBay sellers - All asking for ID and selfie now?
 

Not sure who is talking about a buyer account, even referred to, "registering as a seller".

New seller accounts, if created properly, do not require any form of ID or bank statement. Period. If you have a flagged SSN, since the last 4 are asked during registration, maybe this would throw a flag, not sure.

I'll waste my time and prove you wrong with a VIDEO, just for you, if you put $250 in a escrow account that I get to keep after success :bounce:

As with any account that I have created over the last 20 years, no forms of ID needed.

Re: New eBay sellers - All asking for ID and selfie now?
 

You are an idiot you don’t have any eBay selling history and you have no idea what you’re talking about. You are just misleading people. You’re probably associated with the forums

stealth process with solid IP source, phone etc?

Re: New eBay sellers - All asking for ID and selfie now?
 

They have been asking for selfie since early 2023. At least from what I have seen. Probably not for all accounts, but overtime it's silly to think it won't be implemented.

Stealth only gets harder overtime, not easier.

Re: New eBay sellers - All asking for ID and selfie now?
 

I have over 25 years of eBay selling history. When you don’t know something don’t push your agenda. Your SSN is flagged, or your IP is crappy or you aren’t opening a business account (correctly). Put your money on your confidence and I’ll video it. No more discussion

Re: New eBay sellers - All asking for ID and selfie now?
 

Correct, hotspot device with a big carrier sim.

Re: New eBay sellers - All asking for ID and selfie now?
 

New to me they have ever asked for a selfie. If it’s been since 2023, has to be for flagged accounts/info during creation. They may ask for it overtime, but as with any stealth account, stolen info is never OK and related info is the way to go, in which case the selfie should not be an issue.

Re: New eBay sellers - All asking for ID and selfie now?
 

You have 0 years of experience. Video it then and please prove me wrong. Create a brand brand new seller / buyer account today. Prove me wrong or shut the hell up

Re: New eBay sellers - All asking for ID and selfie now?
 

Ignore this 7 post lightweight no ID needed but he doesn’t know how to do it :clap:

Re: New eBay sellers - All asking for ID and selfie now?
 

I just open a seller account on Ebay,no ID needed.
I listed one item and link a bank account.

Re: New eBay sellers - All asking for ID and selfie now?
 

Thanks for confirming and we know Invisalign is ⊗⊗⊗⊗ news

Re: New eBay sellers - All asking for ID and selfie now?
 

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.

Re: New eBay sellers - All asking for ID and selfie now?
 

Able to supply the ID for stealth?

Re: New eBay sellers - All asking for ID and selfie now?
 

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.

SMH

Re: New eBay sellers - All asking for ID and selfie now?
 

well,I logged into this account,my listing has been removed and it is asking for picture ID.

Re: New eBay sellers - All asking for ID and selfie now?
 

Thats a little different has happened for years on eBay

Re: New eBay sellers - All asking for ID and selfie now?
 

There you go - got hit with ID request

Re: New eBay sellers - All asking for ID and selfie now?
 

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

Re: New eBay sellers - All asking for ID and selfie now?
 

I haven't gotten asked for an id or selfie for USA accounts myself.

Re: New eBay sellers - All asking for ID and selfie now?
 

are you using prepaid phone numbers when you create your account??

Re: New eBay sellers - All asking for ID and selfie now?
 

no request for selfie for recently created Canada account? Nice

Re: New eBay sellers - All asking for ID and selfie now?
 

Yes, no selfie. But sometimes they still ask to upload ID

Re: New eBay sellers - All asking for ID and selfie now?
 

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

Re: New eBay sellers - All asking for ID and selfie now?
 

Did you have anything else listed?

Re: New eBay sellers - All asking for ID and selfie now?
 

Working with ebay customer services is hard work

Re: New eBay sellers - All asking for ID and selfie now?
 

No, I had only one item listed, and it was suspended five days after being relisted.

Re: New eBay sellers - All asking for ID and selfie now?
 

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

Re: New eBay sellers - All asking for ID and selfie now?
 

I just buy extra line from an existing mobile subscirption.

I used to do prepaid but having to refill every 3 months has become a hassle

Re: New eBay sellers - All asking for ID and selfie now?
 

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.
