This discussion has gotten a bit heated. Please remember that, while it is fine to disagree with others, discussion should always remain friendly and respectful as required by the Community Guidelines .
Main documents include Proof of age card and Foreign National ID card, both of which are NOT accepted by ebay as primary id's for managed payments. The proof of age card has been noted in numerous other posts on this subject as that is the main source of ID many people have. Two forms of some non photo ID can also be substituted for photo ID for a bank account.
My wife had this problem. She is blind so no drivers licence and no passport. Her proof of age card was accepted for a short period by ebay then later rejected and her account placed on hold.
The only way she could get around the issue was to apply for a passport, purely to keep ebay happy.
To open a bank account you need a certain number of points - Medicare - Licence - Passport - etc etc etc.
You have the documents if you have a bank account.
Did you miss the point ?
Many of the forms of ID that are accepted to open a bank account are not accepted by ebay for managed payments. The information in your post is wrong and misleading to both the OP and other forum posters.
Please stop posting false and misleading information.

The ID needed to open a bank account include some of the necessary to open a seller account on eBay.
Did I mention Driver's Licence - yep - did I mention Passport - yep - so just where is anything misleading.
As a regular forum poster, you would be well aware that " What ebay says and what Ebay does " in practice are often quite different things. Also as a regular forum poster you would be well aware that there are numerous threads and posts stating that ebay DOES NOT accept proof of age cards as a valid form of photo id for managed payments.
Proof of age cards are the main form of government issued, photo id used by people with disabilities and others who for whatever reason are unable to drive motor vehicles and cant afford to travel overseas ( and buy a passport ).
If you dont know what you are talking about and have no experience on the subject of accounts on hold due to problems with photo id, it may be best if you leave the conversation to those who have had direct experience with this problem, or at least have informed themselves of the facts.
Your continued posting of misleading and plainly false information is not helping anyone and gives the impression of a poster who is more intent on arguing with others rather than genuinely trying to assist those with problems.

I'm a senior citizen. I gave up my driver's license some years ago. I opened my back account 50 off years ago. Didn't need the same ID documents then. Don't have a passport.
eBay do not know or care about any seller's age/ability/income status etc and there are no alternatives
Many members here are senior citizens , all of us had to sign up for Managed Payments before we sold/started selling again/if we wanted to continue to sell after Managed Payments came in over four years ago
And as you agreed to when listing
There are no 'buts' when selling, if you are not signed up and verified to sell, you will not be paid
I suppose eBay may take the 'stand' that listings state seller takes all responsibility , yadda yadda, yadda
And I am sure if it were done, we would have just as many people come and complain that eBay are 'blocking them from selling' as we do people not reading what they ticked they had read (and understood)

·2 years agoHow did you plan to be paid for the items you sold in June?
Did you send them?
The only option for sellers to be paid is Managed Payments
You will not be paid otherwise
This is why you sign up before you list

Several forms of ID each worth a certain number of points - doesn''t matter which - as long as you fill the points.

·2 years agoThe cost of a passport has just risen to $398 - the most expensive in the world.
Not many could afford to pay that if they just want to 'sell things around the house' to maybe pay their bills.

·2 years agoSad but true Sandy, but I like a few others believe that eBay should not be allowing unverified members to advertise items for sale.
Surely it can't be that hard to put some sort of block in place for them...............
