selfie

Etsy announces seller verification changes, requesting real selfie taken during sign up.
This will not apply to already EXISTING shops, only to new ones.
Is it asking selfie on all new accounts now? did any one register new account lately ?

haven't registered one lately - seems to be during sign up for new accounts...?

Hmmmmm in hindsight, this should make it easier for account creation if they want it upfront.

Then the account sellers in this forum can act accordingly and you don't need to worry about it being asked later.

Better difficult now and easy later.

after verification of bank account it gives you choice of different ids or passports and then selfy. I don't know if its random or all new accounts?

So choice of ID vs selfy? That's still a choice at least...

I was never given a choice between a selfie or a copy of my ID. They always ask for a selfie

Very rough on the stealth side unless you can manipulate with AI...or make ID with your own photo under stealth name...?

So let me get this straight, etsy now wants not just $25-$35 to open an account and now they want a selfie also?

What's next? Son's kidney?
