Video Verification

[BlackieCheung]

Today I heard something call video verification. It's like EB asks you to use a webcam to record your picture and have account and ID verification. Has anyone heard about this?

News to me to. Even if they do, there are ways around that as well.

Have not heard this - waste of their time and money in my opinion.

I stand with you on that..got any cash to hire me as your legal aid?

[BlackieCheung]

Guys, no kidding. As a matter of fact, today when I tried to request selling limit by clicking the link. It went to a video verification. I didn't continue as I don't have a webcam to do and I wouldn't want to do it. Anyone hear anything like that and any trick to get rid of it?

I think I just tossed up my breakfast.

What would they compare the photo to?

[jhn2001]

some of the freelancer site already has this feature , they ask you to verify yourselves on skype this is a possiblity .

[imjustme]

Maybe they will ask you to scan your ID/passport and then ask to see you over video as well to make sure the guy on the ID is really you.

A great way to scare away new eBayers, too. eBay is self destructing, I love it!

Happy New Year everyone!

I did some search on Google. They should have started doing this to eb China in the beginning of 2012. People saying they are required to take pictures, do some postings in the video verification. After that, they may be required to send photo ID and other document to get it pass. I'm in eb HongKong. I saw this video verification in one of my account in early Dec. I thought they needed this for the peak season selling limit request only. However, I went back yesterday and it's still there.

Surely there must be a way around it. eBay can't expect you to buy a webcam just to verify the account. Or do they send one free?

PP likes to go around some things when they can - they feel they can do these things because of their size and net influence.

I used that argument on the Freelancer sites but they still insisted on it and told me that it would be grounds for banning me and returning the payment to the client... pretty retarded that they think everybody would have one to verify with.
