I don't supply my driver licence details to anyone because of the risk of identity theft.  A recent ABC story on identity theft described driver licenses as "the golden ticket of ID theft" (link here: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-09-06/drivers-licence-identity-theft-leaves-victims-exposed/1143966...).  If you give Ebay your Australian bank account details, you are effectively giving them 100 points of ID because you can't open a bank account without 100 points of ID.  So I don't understand the insistence on driver licences in addition to name, address, date of birth and bank account details.

 

I like Ebay and have been using it for about 15 years...but I think the risk of identity theft from having my driver licence number on Ebay's files (unnecessarily in my view) outweighs the benefits.
