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.

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.

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.

Done. Thank you

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.

They are all buyer accounts.

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

Only recently turned into sellers.
