Ebay will have sent an email with instructions.

The most useful thing you can do is to follow those instructions.

Nobody in the forum can access your account or know exactly why you have needed to verify your account.

if you change your address, unless there is something else going on, it isn't standard procedure for you to have to verify your account and really, only Ebay can sort this out for you.

Ensure the documents can be seen in full, and no corners etc missing from say the driving licence etc. This may be the issues, we don't know as we have no access to your account, but it can be a common issue.

Hi Tommy the documents have been scanned and can clearly be seen i don't have a passport or driving licence so birth cert and bank statement is all i have to send and still after five days or so it's still the same i am raging about this 😞
