I don't have any of these. So not sure how I'm going to get on their system anyway. Am waiting on chat to find out.
I don't either, but I suspect it will be the same as elsewhere - government issued photo ID is what they really want, so a proof of age card should suffice (I've provided mine in all 3 of the above instances). If not, they will be shutting down my store in a couple of months, I guess.
I had got a POA card back in 2007 as I don't drive but photo ID is handy, and used it for years (it never expires), but I've moved a few times since and also ultimately misplaced it (it's here somewhere, I just have NFI where, and it has a years-old address on it) so when earlier this year Shop*fy decided they needed to verify my identity (and froze my funds in the interim), I had to hastily organise a reissue or new one. This was just after the peak of all the shutdowns hit so I was really peeved at the timing - phoned up the department that handles the re-issuing so I could make sure they had my current address etc, and because I couldn't come in to take a new photo (required if the one on file is 10+ years old) they reissued it with the 2007 photo, so I guess that was a bonus. Took 2 weeks to arrive in the mail after that (I look mostly the same, just have some grey hair now 
).

In SA they're issued by the same department that issues driver's licenses (or they were) so mine has the same number that my driver's license had, back when I actually had one, so I guess that means I can use it, still.
And yeah, if those are the only two options currently provided, it's either a severe oversight on eBay's behalf, or an intentional culling of people whose.... circumstances eBay doesn't approve of?? Might have to get back on the phone to them, I already complained about the lack of registration options but didn't realise there were more issues to complain about.

I knew they had been rolling it out over a couple of months, but didn't know there were still accounts that had their fees reimbursed when refunding (lucky, lol).
Such a typical non-answer from eBay, though. PayPal refunding (or not) isn't really the point, but since they made it one, I would have pointed out that they patted themselves on the back quite heartily for allowing for fee credits on (full) refunds while cristicising PayPal for not doing the same, lol.
