Demand from eBay to verify my account

Jumpingthroughhoops

Is there any way around this? Been a customer since 2007. Only a buyer for last few years....some of you will understand that decision. I don`t have a smartphone up & running & my camera-desktop PC connection has failed, the problem is within the PC gubbins. No way I want to provide a poxy company with my mug shot, private details etc. They already have my tel no, address & DOB, that`ll do me.

I think I done this when PayPal was being replaced in favor of your bank. I don't remember adding a photo paper driving license and a BT bill. I'll check. I thought it was for new accounts that it requires photos

Much appreciated TL1. Good little thread. I won`t be complying with ebay`s demand.
Only spoke with them a couple of months ago, but finding a way of doing that again has thus far evaded me. I get sent around a catch22 continual loop.
Odd this happens when I`m in the midst of attempting to deal with a couple of wayward sellers.

I recently bought something having not bought anything for years, there was no further verification required

eBay uses Google ID verification framework on the app you can see this in settings and has a on off option I didn't try it but it  picture below not sure if that would help. But interesting automatically switched on at the bottom

I think it's mainly if you sold or an newer age verification.
