    Enough people already complain about having to provide ID to sign up for managed payments,  can you imagine the drama.

    Why not read the other thread with numerous people complaining about the same thing?

     

    https://community.ebay.com.au/t5/eBay-Announcements/Changes-to-our-Knives-policy/ba-p/2582909

     

    Or complain when it was advised on here several months ago that it was happening?, back in July in fact

     

    https://community.ebay.com.au/t5/eBay-Announcements/Changes-to-our-Knives-policy/ba-p/2582909

     

    Or ask eBay?

     

    Why the ‘must buy knives on eBay’ at all?  

    Use another site, or a real store

     

    Maybe they will let you around the restrictions
