Government id here already??

[Speedywurzel]

Can’t post this in the news section as I’m not a prolific poster!! But went to finally start selling on eBay last night and was asked to double check my account details with my government issued id!!!!
Anyone else been asked for this yet or is it just eBay being eBay as usual?

Isn't that currently your National Insurance number?

It's just ebay speak for passport, driving licence, NI number etc etc

As above, it's been in place for around a year now - a few threads on here with more than enough info explaining everything.

This. It’s just wording to say don’t put “Gaz” as your name if your passport or driving licence says “Gary”.
