I made an account to sell a cheap guitar. I listed it for $100 and used all my own original pictures.
They said my listing was suspicious and needed to verify my identity, which meant sending them a picture of me holding my drivers license next to my face.
I had a lot of other stuff to sell, so I obliged.
They said that wasn’t enough and they required another photo, this time holding my passport by my head.
I thought this was pretty crazy, but also, I had a lot of stuff to sell, and privacy is pretty much already dead so why not?
They said they could not verify my identity.
The end.
