My e*sy account was suspended and its been my only source of income for the past year while Ive been recovering from a near-death case of malaria and unable to work.
RE. bank account info for Direct Checkout and ID, are there any workarounds there are for uploading ID? I am trying to open a stealth account in Canada.
I tried last week with all my correct bank info (but used a new bank account and changed my address/phone number, plus everything else new for stealth -
VPN, computer account, etc) & was still asked for ID so I used an old passport. I look nothing like that photo anymore but my full name (i have 2 middle names) was on it. A week later I got a message telling me to answer some questions about why my physical location was different than my shipping location. I wrote back and said i didn't understand, and they wrote back with a vague message about not being able to re-open my account.
I actually don't understand what they're talking about bc I was using a
VPN with an IP from my actual city/country.
I tried again today - using all new everything again - and hoping that by changing the bank itself not just the account it would make a difference. I tripple checked all my info, and it was definitely all correct, but I was told they couldn't verify my info and asked for ID again.
Is my name causing a red flag? It's kind of unusual but I wouldn't think that they could go on first / last name alone..
I don't know what to do now. . I thought about getting ⊗⊗⊗⊗ id with my real name (but excluding my 2 middle names which appear on my ID (on bank account) but what would happen if they tried to verify that? Also would I get in trouble for it? Would it even work?
I also thought about registering a business and getting a bank account for it - but what if they look up the business owner's info or require Id also?
Has anyone had this issue and if so, what are the work arounds? If anyone's able to help at all I would be beyond grateful!!! Really starting to freak out about how I will survive while I’m still too sick to work without my e*tsy shop.
