What Will Happen! Think About It!

If ebay decide to add either passports or driving licenses or even national insurance number indentification, there would be no way arounf that.

I understand that not everyone will have a d. license or a passport but i'm sure everyone who is 18+ has a national insurance number.

Also not long ago the government were on about releasing a national I.D unique to everyone. This would make it probably impossible to create more than 1 account.
So before this happens, why not get as many accounts together AS YOU CAN!

how very interesting

That would be a very good reason to start making new accounts. I will have to get on that. Usually ebay warns us of this stuff before it happens though.

you are really paranoid
is ebay all you think about

importracer150 · #5 07-16-2008

Hes right, the rules can change any minute, anytime. That new CEO is changing alot of stuff around latley. Get many accounts now, I just made 268 last month.

paybay · #6 07-16-2008

philly387 · #7 07-16-2008

Isn't that what this forum is for? People that want to know everything about ebay?

paybay · #8 07-16-2008

but isn't creating 268 ebay accouts going abit over the top

philly387 · #9 07-16-2008

I'm sure he has a reason for doing it...but I am not sure what exactly it is.

paybay · #10 07-16-2008

well im not even gonna try to think about his reason

becuse he must have alot of reasons

importracer150 · #11 07-16-2008

These 268 accounts will age over the years and be worth like gold thats the reason.

philly387 · #12 07-16-2008

That's a good reason

Gold is always priced well!

If ebay/paypal added passports or driver's licences it would be game over for multiple accounts. They could ask for your passport number and this can be check in seconds on the passport office site to see if the information matches. Even if youve got 500 accounts, whats stopping paypal adding passport verification to existing accounts?

greg2414 · #14 07-19-2008

They probably wont add the passport/drivers license thing because not everyone has one.

BUT a new uk i.d will soon be issued so id be prepared for that.

Im guessing it's like u.s ssn?

boondoggle · #15 07-19-2008

True, for now, but there are plenty of other sites where you are required to send copies of passport or driver's licences if you are sending or receiving money . I dont think its beyond the realms of possibility that PayPal would start doing the same (or be forced to!) especially if the amount of news about counterfeit goods on ebay/ online in general carries on. Obviously its not in their interest- stock price, but legally its got to happen sooner or later.
I wouldnt worry about our ID cards- we are in the UK! our gvt couldnt organise a piss up in a brewery, it will take them years to sort that out

could you repeat that? lemme get my ear-trumpet - they wont add what what now?

268 all with the same IP, all with different paypals with different banks attached to it ?

How is that even possible.

Because it was 11 years ago and making/maintaining accounts was 20x easier than it is in 2019.

All 268 of those accounts are probably worthless now, rather than "like gold" as that guy was speculating lol.
