Ebay Canada Requires Government ID?

[sqrl57]

Tried making an account on ebay Canada and is says to upload government id front and back, is this madantory now or depends on the information sent? Last time I made over a year ago didn't require me to upload id proof when creating a seller account.

Probably true, next in the near future you will have to have a chip to buy or sell - they are getting it prepared

Yes right when I was creating the seller account it asked for the banking information and to upload government id. I used my phone data, might be madantory now to upload id when creating a seller account.

If they ask for identification when you open the account, this means that they have doubts about your identity.

Providing ID is likely mandatory now, or eBay's system flagged your specific situation. While it wasn't always required, eBay sometimes asks for ID to verify identity and increase security, especially for sellers. It probably depends on factors specific to your account creation.
