Identification Document Request

[Juliebabe25]

I can't understand the paranoia of some people not wanting to produce some simple documents.

Do they think that ebid is going to rip them off after being in business for 10 years ?

i have been asked for all this and i am only selling a dreambox for £50 and there is no way there getting my docs we have been ripped off befor in the past and its not happening again so i have told them to close my acount and i will go els where.
thanks

Hi bruik, welcome to eBid and the Forum. I really understand how you feel because I was asked to verify too as I had listed some really expensive items just after I joined. I uploaded the stuff and was up & running quick and I am so glad to be here it isn't true. I have long since got my fees back.
We are only asked for verification if it is felt necessary and to protect everyone - it is valid, it's a big help to stopping naughty folk coming here although now & again one or two slip the net.
eBid looks after us here as best it can. Far better than elsewhere.
BTW, I have a friend right now who joined months ago, felt he had made a mistake & wrote to close his account, now regrets it and is in the process of being reviewed in the hopes he can come back. Believe me, eBid are real people who care - not robots/machines or anything else.
You have paid your fee - hang on to your hat - you won't regret it I am sure.
I hope this helps.

As long as you send the minimum info required its ok, use your common sense.
Always reply through ebid and Not a email
Keep a note of what info you give out to anyone.

My guess is because you have only been a member for 2 weeks and you are trying to list an expensive item so eBid need to make sure you are who you say you are. Go ahead and provide what eBid require from you. You will then be more than verified for any future expensive items you sell.

Treat this as a welcome security check knowing you and every member are pretty safe on this site.

Agree with Jan, it seems eBid requires verification from new members selling high ticket items for the protection of all members. If it were me, I'd provide the documentation and proceed with my sales, but of course it's up to you.

Best wishes for many sales to all,

I have had MORE problems with ebid than any other web selling site. FINALLY I got to list some items THEN after providing a credit card, Paypal information it asked for MORE verification.....SO I uploaded the requested item and STILL am not able to log on. WHAT a waste for $50. If I could get my money back I would happily return to blujay and ebay........................

In the past we have dad a few scammers who have been thrown off another well known site and managed to scam a few people on here, the management had no choice but to bring in these measures.
