    Personal information

    Why does Ebay require personal information like Drivers licence number or passport number and date of birth. That has NEVER been a requirement for the sixteen years I have been a member. This seems highly irregular. They have stopped me from buying and/or selling until I provide such personal information. There are plenty of hackers out there and if they hacked this info your identity would be at risk.

    I have not sold for a while, went to start selling again. The personal info is over the top, just another place to have your details hacked from. Ebay is finished for me, to expensive and invasive for me.
