That is the rules relating to their IT systems and algorithms, no need to remember them. As SaiJin said, they read from a script. They have to understand and remember the risk factors sometimes needing to apply common sense which, often times is lacking.
You should apply to be Rep agent, then we will have a real insider on the forum.

I dont think they will hire me,I get confused counting ten,then I count my toes and after 20,I cover my face with my fingers and cry !!!!!!!
I start selling on Ebay in 1990s,may have called customer service 5 times?
May be Ebay is not your venue,better find a different one to buy/sell,

Which is why you'll be perfect for the job!

Haha, fair play! If you’ve been selling since the 90s and only had to call CS 5 times, you’re definitely doing something right. You must have the magic touch while the rest of us are out here constantly battling their bots.

As for eBay not being my venue... I think I’m in too deep to back out now 😂 Someone's got to figure out how to bypass their nonsense!

I sell physical goods,no digital and I own all my merchandise listed on Ebay.
these days I only sell items I want to get rid of on Ebay,too much work and too little reward.

Exactly - it's their job...doesn't matter about wage - if they're hired to do something...then expectations are there.

Re: Anyone think accounts are linked by facial recognition?
 

I just hope you aren't hired to do a minimum wage job agent - /shudder at the quality of work expect hah jokes

How common is it for Ebay to request re-verification for established accounts in 2026?

I 'd like to buy from a trusted seller on this forum, but I want to know what to expect.

Re: Anyone think accounts are linked by facial recognition?
 

Once account is fully verified they do not request this again, just need to maintain good habits to avoid MC011.

Re: Anyone think accounts are linked by facial recognition?
 

It is indeed possible for accounts to be linked; in fact, "identical facial recognition data" is typically considered one of the high-risk factors for such associations. When upgrading a seller's account status, many platforms—particularly those in the e-commerce, cross-border trade, and payment processing sectors—utilize KYC (Know Your Customer) and real-name authentication systems to collect and cross-reference multi-dimensional data, extending far beyond just mobile phone numbers and IP addresses.
