Why am I required to provide private details before selling an item by an undefined Government

[k1ooo-slr-sales]

“undefined Government” . . . do you consider yourself to be a “sovereign citizen” by any chance?

Are you talking about Managed Payments?

If so, there are plenty of thread on here that answer your question

Same rules for everyone, as has been the case when Managed Payments came in over two years ago

As was the case to set up a PayPal account

And how long you have been a member

or your feedback as a seller prior to now/last year/last decade doe not make a difference

Not the answer you want, clearly, but if you want to sell on eBay then those are the rules

Thanks for your comments.though you may be or not aware that there are privacy laws in this country and rules can

[k1ooo-slr-sales]

there are also laws that cover money laundering and the need for those who handle financial transactions to verify the identity of those who transact with them

[sandypebbles]

And you are clearly unaware how or why the same rules apply to you as they do everyone else. Obviously you only want the answers that you want to hear, and have no interest in why such policy has been put in place

You believe that ought to be allowed to operate outside those rules, but tell me what I am unaware of

Ok. good luck finding anywhere to sell once the same thing comes in as mandatory across all selling websites. eBay was in fact late to the party there

Yes, privacy legislation also applys, but obviously you don,t know how it applys to the information , you are legally required to provide.

eBay's site, eBay's rules.

You sign accepting the rules.

If you don't agree, you don't need to use eBay and use other selling methods instead. Simples.
