Ebay want's ALL MY PERSONAL details!!!

[morhuk]

I am extremely unhappy about the information eBay wants from me to receive payments.
If eBay gets hacked, the hacker gets:

• My name
• My address
• My drivers licence
• My date of birth
• My bank account details!

And eBay keep this - even after verifying my account!!!
This is too high risk for me!

Why can't they simply transfer to my credit card if you don't want to pay into my paypal account?

I'll bet all those Chinese companies on eBay won't be providing those details!!! What will they do instead? Why do they get away with it, and not me?

If there are no alternatives, I will strongly need to consider not using eBay in future.

I'm guessing Granny will be back when they don't get their money.

It would make more sense if ebay stopped people from listing if they are not signed up for Managed Payments, but they don't.

That is what I don't understand

There should be a Mars sized red flashing 'siren' with sound effects if you try to list without signing up first

(ok, not really, but something that tells you that you cannot proceed)

It's been three years already

Well past the "I don't know" expiry date

As sandy says, I hope you have sorted Managed Payments or you will be waiting a long time for the funds from the item you sold today.

Did you read t & c for selling?  A lot of time has passed since you last sold.  Many things change

OFF EBAY: ITS THE ONLY COURSE OF ACTION.

The following organisations have been hacked in the last few years: outlook, gmail, experian credit reference agency, Telecoms companies.

Enough is enough this is a joke fix your  systems and DO NOT KEEP OUR PERSONAL INFORMATION AFTER VERIFICATION.
