Indeed this has happened in Denmark already where for example DBA (Danish version of ebay) started soft-mandating MitID verification. Soon to be actually mandatory.
- einarfd 1y agoAt one point I was researching using the Norwegian BankID system to ensure that accounts where real people. The pricing model didn't make that look like a reasonable choice. While I'm not surprised an eBay like service would be fine to pay to combat fraud. For a lot of offerings, paying the cost of using such services will not be worth it.
