Age verification impossible without a Credit Card
Summary: mgtb is frustrated with eBay's age verification system, which requires a credit card rather than a debit card for verification, despite being a long-time user over the age of 18. They also express dissatisfaction with the Digital Assistant for correcting text and being unhelpful.
Hey folks! I'm looking to bid on an electric wood plane (hardly a lethal weapon) but eBay requires age verification , but it turns out you can only check your age with a credit card, not a debit card. The thing is, you need to be 18+ to even have an eBay account in the first place! I've been buying and selling for over 18 years, so you'd think that would show I'm old enough! And don't get me started on the Digital Assistant (AI)—it's pretty much useless and just goes round in circles!
PS why can I not type what I want without the AI "correcting" it???
