Age Verification failure - alternative methods
Summary: jadic71 expresses frustration over a service requiring age verification via credit card, which they don't possess, preferring to use an Auk driver's license instead. They complain about the lack of customer support and mention switching to Amazon for purchases due to this issue. papso22 confirms that credit card verification is the only option for purchases on the platform, leading jadic71 to reiterate their preference for Amazon, highlighting the platform's loss.
Hi. So, here’s the problem. They’ve started using this service called Verify My Age through which you use a credit card to identify you are 18 or over. I’m 57 and don’t want a credit card. I do, however, have a valid Auk drivers license and would love to show them but they’ve also locked out their customer service options - you can’t email them any more, their AI goes in a for next loop and eBay just lost out on a purchase because I got it from Amazon instead. Their loss this time, but for future purchases how tf do I get round this?
