Unverifed Ebay MP accounts

[SMOZ]

Hi

I see on other websites that you will get an ID request when you reach £1000 in sales and the info on the account cannot be confirmed.

Is that true for EBay too?

If not sooner I would imagine

No, reverb

I thought so as I have never seen such a page on ebay before

on ebay the personal details are verified on each account incl. those not selling anything , the difference is only that on active accounts verification may start as early as 600 pounds and on barely active accounts it is some time later , probably several months after seller account was registered

bank is usually checked immediately after adding it to the system asking to confirm micro deposits , on barely active accounts they may ask for it once they become more active

From my experience eBay starts to verify your account once you hit the £10,000 mark when the account has run for a few months and steady sales. They will ask before if you do a big bang start up and the account restricted.

It is much earlier from what I have seen. 1000$ on new accounts is a good threshold to default

[murdered_by_ebay]

the TO is from the UK so 500-600 may trigger verification and if the account is left inactive the verification will come after a few months as well

10K without verification is unrealistic in all ebay countries

[degsey69]

Well it happened at £10,000 with my last UK account , but then again I have been doing it a long time and the details for the stealth account were verifiable by soft credit checks, plus a long build up of sales starting with auctions, increasing gradually. So it was verified very easily as details were not ⊗⊗⊗⊗. They then upped the selling limits.
I think all tales about when you get verified is different depending, on the circumstances and product types etc.

Noticed the flag change. When did you move from the US to UK?

That isn't a stealth account.

Did you personally know the person whose details you were using?

[degsey69]

I am a dual citizen and flit back and forth, mainly in UK now so thought as I am using UK eBay now I best change my flag to that country, thanks for noticing. Yes the account is stealth, I got my USA accounts linked to my last one here so did some creative work and now have a strong 10 month old one here. It’s much easier in the UK than the States for stealth creation and verification.

If the account information passes soft credit checks then it isn't stealth.

What happens if it fails soft credit check? ID verification

Apologies - ID request indeed

Thats pretty great. So essentially an ITIN or SSN is not required. As long as the ID check gets verified. Do you have any idea if its possible to upload a foreign ID and get the account verified?

They are required in the US.

From what I have seen, its just the last 4 digits. And if that fails to match anything they have on record, would that not just trigger an ID verification, where we can send a foreign passport?

uk accounts are the toughest accounts that is why there are barely any sellers for them as they can do USA and EU much easier
