Why do I have to give my dob and driver's lic when I can buy/sell on marketplace without giving same

[norc_961]

Ebay state it is government regulation to give out DOB and driver's licence in order to sell/buy whereas Market Place does not require to give out this private information

Because facebook doesn't process payments. They are between the buyer and the seller.

Whereas eBay DO process payments and are required to adhere to Australian law.

Go with the cowboys. What possible downside is there? As long as you are paying cash on pickup.

Use Marketplace 

eBay is not Marketplace

Or, better still, read the government regs for yourself since apparently you don't believe what eBay states 

You don't have to use eBay if you don't think policies ought to apply to you
