I'm 43, I have had an ebay account for probably 20 years. I have bought and sold many item on this platform. I have a passport, a driving licence, ... Problem started when i tried to buy some razor blade and was ask to enter my credit card details (i do not have a credit card only a debit card). Now trying to buy some blade for my plunge saw and I cannot do this either. Why on earth is the only way to prove you are 18 is to have a credit card. I work in the retail industry and there is many way to prove someone is 18, none of them is to show up a credit card. If you go to the supermarket a credit card is not even a valid proof of age... I'm really annoyed by the stupidity of this system.
