eBay asks for full identity documents to be put online. BAD

[malc9141]

Surely it is foolish for eBay to ask for full identity documents to be put online? This should be done in some sort of incomplete way, or in stages.

I have supplied my full i.d. but who knows how secure it is?

Agree

For selling on eBay it is now required and is similar to supplying a bank with personal details especially online banking.

Banks can also be hacked.

I use a separate bank card only for online, not attached to my other accounts.

Only my Internet provider wants the cc to stay online, otherwise I always select "don't save" when I pay.

For my ISP I have a separate card to which the amount for the Internet service is automatically transferred each month from another card. I think I only have $20-30 apart from the money due for the Internet on that card, so if they hack the website I don't risk much.

Too little,too late.

"Opening another browser saves some grief."

And how in God's name will opening a different browser help with providing identity proof ?

[bryzen]

It doesn't,that's the point.

@bryzen - no point then, What a surprise

@davewil.

No surprises there, that member rarely, if ever, posts help on the boards. They seem to enjoy nit-picking far more sadly.
