eBay Seller Account system changed?
 

It seems like there has been a change in the eBay system. I turned 2 eBay accounts which were over 6 months old into seller accounts. I entered VVC details and it went throught fine and also done phone verification, but when I tried to list something they are telling me to link my eBay to my PayPal account or add a bank account.

Has anyone else had this situtation and is it a change in policy.

Creating a Seller

I want to ask people something, I have opened many eBay accounts in the past, but for the first time last night, I had to confirm identity when I was only opening a buyer account....anyone else? First for me this!

I have opened many accounts over the years and they have all done this step when opening a seller account.

Happened to me yesterday ShadyOne - what do you think?:suspicious::suspicious:

^ Happened to me yesterday...hmmm...if you have also never had it before. Then that is not coincidental to me, seems like a possible change to eBay UK at least.

And VCC got knocked back:eek:

VCC eh? go on

Entropay - definitely didn't like - opening buyer account and wanted id documents and to call in. I just let it go assuming I had messed up:rant:

I also got the 'send in ID and proof of address', when trying to turn an old buyer account into a seller account yesterday. What do you think, lots of changes happening very fast on Ebay. Do you think I should just let this one go and start afresh, anyone tried to open a buyer account/seller account in the past 3 days, and been asked for the same info? Thank you.

^ I am opening one today, will keep posted if the same thing happens to me again, also if I am asked for docs.

Ive opened several in the past week and experienced no problems. :suspicious:

no problems for me too in the last couple of days :pop2:

Yep, I just opened another eBay account fine as well, but I was just suprised when I had to confirm my identity as soon as I opened my eBay account the other day, never had it before.

Yeah that is odd wonder what triggered it :spy:

^ May be random. Or perhaps IP range related. Not sure tbh.

Not happening in ebay US,But i think is random,same like when you start with 10 items,20 or 100,just lucky ones get to the doc Ver. :)

I tried with an entropay VCC and immediately have been asked for id documentation plus a second card. I may try with a prepaid mastercard, that may work. What do you think?

entropay will not work with paypal and ebay, try to use some other vcc.

Prepaid bank-issued MC is much better than entr op ay

Ive still not experienced any problems :suspicious:

try and remove the card and it might go away after you added another one.

Has worked for me in the past, well a few weeks ago when the same thing happened, also did not need to send id.

I've Never ever experienced that on eBay UK maybe it's a technical glitch or some kind of random check who knows!.

Stealth Master :clap:

Normally happens when the phone number you are using has been used before
