DRIVERS LICENCE REQIREMENT
Summary: The discussion centers around the requirement for a driver's licence. bakerrj initiated the conversation, but the post content is not specified. Several participants, including papermoon.lady, sandypebbles, and jellybirddesigns, engaged in the discussion. A particular response from jellybirddesigns led to further interaction from paper-jack and subsequently sandypebbles, k1ooo-slr-sales, and p9games. Additionally, esmerelda88 and kh-syedse made posts, with sandypebbles responding to esmerelda88. The specifics of the discussions remain undisclosed in the content provided.
So, Ebay wanted my drivers licence details. Who in their right mind would provide those details given all the hacks. Probably have to find different site to sell my Wyndham timeshare

Thank you for understanding.

·1 year agoGUMTREE doesn’t invade your privacy by asking for driver’s license, so if you are just a normal person not a shop with some bit of tat or a plant or a car or something to sell, gumtree is best especially for Pick Up Only
sandypebbles
·1 year agoSell on Gumtree then
Same rules for every seller for over four and a half years now
Nobody has to sell on eBay
Those who choose to need to be aware of their obligations as a seller and not tick they have 'read and understood' something they haven't
Simple
Lucky Gumtree is totally problem free

·3 years agoI don't know if Ebay is the right platform for selling timeshare - too many scammers out there.
Anyway, you'll definitely need to be verified via either passport or DL, plus bank account. Since you're in an infrequent/new seller, your funds will be on hold for up to 30 days.
Don't you have to offer the original company the first right of refusal? I'm sure there are a lot of legal hoops to jump through - maybe work with a site that can guide you in terms of escrow/title etc otherwise you're pretty much on your own.

·3 years agoWho in their right mind would buy a timeshare on ebay?
Maybe a person who has bought gold?

·3 years agoAdvertising?
Certainly an odd thing to post on a member forum they guess they will have to sell elsewhere
Last thing in the world I'd be buying from eBay (and an inexperienced seller with no idea of selling basics at that)
Scammer's dream though most certainly

·3 years agoyou would be surprised.
Time-share can be very hard to offload. It depends on what the annual fees are, the length of time left on the time-share, the rules for the time-share corporation AND the original time-share agreement.
There are some benefits in buying in cheaply on a time-share in a not-so-great location. The ability to bank your weeks and trade weeks for another time-share location, including overseas locations.
Because buying time-share is a 'property' transaction it is prudent to get all the original documents related to the time-share AND get legal advice, just as you would if you were buying land.
**Disclaimer**
My post here should not be taken as me proffering legal advice or property purchase advice. Although I have never bought in to a time-share, I do have a reasonable understanding of the pros & cons through family connections. Saying more would not be in my best interests so don't ask for more information. The old adage "buyer beware" is short, simple advice that should be followed.

Fixed it for you

·3 years agoYep, Thats the law, dont comply / dont sell, it really is that simple.
No one here or at ebay, care if you comply / sell, or not.
sandypebbles
·3 years agoI'd say so
Given Managed Payments came in three years ago, and eBay is/was among the last to require it
As they are required to
Same rules for all sellers
As is the 30 day hold on funds, which I am guessing you would also object to
And eBay do not read here
So
Good luck, I'm sure you will find a buyer on a site somewhere
Be aware and be careful of scammers though
It's not just hacks you need to be worried about when selling online
Especially scammer magnets like that timeshare

·3 years agoIt is not their choice. The Government now requires them to ask sellers to verify their ID and bank details before selling.
