Proving your identity on Vinted

I know we get a lot of threads about the need to prove your identity on ebay and several people think this is just ebay being difficult. However, I have been selling on Vinted now for several months and have just had a withdrawal blocked as apparently I have reached a threshold and need to prove my identity. I have uploaded, as requested a photo of my driving license and await the 'yes or no' decision.

I'll come back and update when I next hear anything.

Incidentally I didn't think I had sold that much on there, certainly less than £500 so their threshold is much lower than ebay.

Incidentally Soolin is yours a photo driving licence?  I only have the old fashioned paper licence and no passport.  Thus I don't have any photo ID.  I also sell on Vinted and not sure what I can do if asked to prove my identity.

Mine is a photo ID and whilst it didn’t say it had to be a photo one, I suspect a paper one wouldn’t work. There was no other options, just passport or driving license . You might need to get some more info before you reach the threshold, even though I have no idea what that threshold is. 

EDIT ; thinking about this, the camera app when you opt for uploading a photo of your driving license automatically gives you the small card screen, so it isn’t designed to photograph a paper one.
