My wife doesn't have a drivers licence or passport. Her SA. issued proof of age card was originally accepted by the system, but has just come back many weeks later as rejected, holding up transition to managed payments. After a 20 minute phone call with a very helpful rep in the U.S. who did her best to find a work around, we came up blank. 

 

The only way for the missus to continue selling on ebay is to pay the $150  dollars and apply for a passport. Something we will reluctantly do. That will be a big hit to smaller sellers who are just trying to sell a few things to help make ends meet. Particularly those with disabilities who don't have a drivers licence or passport.

I feel like this is a pretty serious issue that eBay should address, as it will be prohibitive for many to have to go through that process and expense.

Weirdly, I haven't had any issues as yet - my POA card reference number was my driver's license number at one point, I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it or not, though. 

My only hiccup so far with being on MP is that my payments are set to weekly and are triggered Monday night to arrive every Tuesday, but they made a payment yesterday of all available funds (obviously not an actual issue, just weird).
