Activity: 0% Longevity: 43% | |  A new concern regarding Etsy Selfies
Etsy started requiring selfie across the entire platform this Wednesday. Based on my experience with UK and NL accounts, previously, if the information matched their database, you could open a shop without uploading ID.
Now that facial recognition is being implemented, I’m concerned that Etsy might still treat accounts differently even after passing this step. Accounts that didn’t match the database might be at higher risk of being quickly shut down, flagged on the first order, or put into vacation mode... I am sure AI can solve the selfie.
Your ideas?

All new accounts, 100% Selfie.
Fill out all the required details on the last setup page, including your name, address, and bank information. After that, click "Continue" and proceed to the selfie verification page.

Previously, if the person's information matched the ETSY database, clicking "Continue" would take them to the page to add their credit card details (which, once added, allowed them to open their shop immediately). If the information didn't match the database, they would be prompted to upload an ID.

Is the requested selfie a selfie or video selfie?

It's possible they use public records.
Either way that's a lot of privacy infringement personally
