I guess a lot has changed since I last looked at selling on eBay ie hostile to occasional sellers | Report eBay Technical Issues

I stopped selling my occasional items when eBay demanded direct debit access to my account. But Gumtree is so full of scammers and time wasters I was frustrated enough to look at eBay again. So I got a new bank account specifically for this so eBay cannot access my only other account, which is a mortgage offset account. I tried to add that in and verify, but it failed because it's not a transaction account? Now it looks like I would have to get yet another account that is a fee-costing transaction account. Plus it looks like now I need to register as a new seller to sell on eBay, even though I had been selling and buying on eBay for more than a decade. Looking at the list of IDs they want, I am not at all comfortable supplying passports and other secure information. Not to mention how long and tedious that list looks. On top of that eBay allowed me to list an item, now for sale, that should someone buy this I would have no way of getting payment unless solving the above. But they are happy to allow me to create the situation where this would occur. Why am I allowed to list something before completing all the new registration and linked bank account. What a hostile platform this has become. I best delete my listing quickly.
