I opened up one yesterday that’s didn’t so this is inaccurate.

I began being asked for ID and selfie Since 3 weeks ago. It will be likely a trend.

They’ve always been asking (especially if made on mobile) it just depends on the internal risk measures triggers

Did eBay ask you ID and selfie as soon as the seller account set up? Or after item got sold?

Thanks

If I make 1 penny everytime I see this stealth is dead type of post... I'd be a millionaire by now.

Re: Stealth dead? New verification for ID and selfie
 

Definitely not. heh.

I can already guess what you did... but like I advise most new comers, sit down and read the stealth guide.

Expand your horizons. With that kind of mindset even if you can make the accounts, your business won't survive.

It is an opened forum but I see you are so mean. Good luck to your business lol.

He is trying to give you good advice and an important hint - it all begins with your mindset - play it cool and smart, don't be in a rush. You need to check out old-timers' wisdom before jumping in. It's not to be mean, it's the truth. If you just continue trying your current path, you will get the same result and attract more unwanted attention from the ban department. You want to slip under the radar, not attract attention.

Re: Stealth dead? New verification for ID and selfie
 

How about putting up the flag of your country, that helps us a lot when giving advice. When the country flag does not show I do not usually respond with advice.

Re: Stealth dead? New verification for ID and selfie
 

Done. Thank you

Re: Stealth dead? New verification for ID and selfie
 

Has to be done to your device, browser, IP or phone.

My pixel 3 right now is getting hit with ID verification no matter what browser or IP I use.

While my s24 is going through without issues.

Re: Stealth dead? New verification for ID and selfie
 

is it during registration?

Re: Stealth dead? New verification for ID and selfie
 

Nope, these were all aged accounts.

Only tried one registered and it got hit as well.

Re: Stealth dead? New verification for ID and selfie
 

so it is sending an email asking for a selfie? were these accounts registered as seller?

Re: Stealth dead? New verification for ID and selfie
 

They are all buyer accounts.

Some have been sitting with some browsing history and some purchases.

Only recently turned into sellers.
