Not comfortable giving driver's license details which includes DOB and address

Question

Ebay & PayPal already have our phone numbers, email addresses and Banking details, not comfortable with the idea of identity theft if there's a possible breach of privacy- who knows ?

I spent hours of photos etc to sell items from deceased family on eBay today, click the prompts etc find cannot sell anything on eBay without licence passport, if I don't have these simply cannot sell anymore. After 10 years of being eBay member with PayPal. This explains why private sellers are not in abundance anymore. eBay used to be great to sell on. No more.

There's no breach of privacy, it's a government regulation that sellers on eBay HAVE to provide and verify their banking and personal details to be able to sell on eBay. It's the same on other selling platforms and in fact they implemented it before eBay did.

Nobody is going to make you provide them

You only need to sign up to Managed Payments if you are a seller, which you have'nt been for some time

Managed Payments came in three years ago, and was announced two years before that, so not sure why you'd wait until now

and the information required now to sell is not 'for' eBay and PayPal

ANY site that has your ID could have a privacy breach

No such thing as safe and secure when it comes to life on line in the modern world
