Multitool blades

Hi All, I am trying to buy some multitool blades, which I have done on numerous occasions in the past,  I am now being asked to prove my age, which I have no problem, with a credit card, with all my details inc pin number, I have never been asked this before,  and ebay already have all my details  !!

Re: Multitool blades

There was a new announcement from eBay a few weeks ago re selling bladed items on their site,  see here if this affects you now :

 

Keeping shoppers and sellers safe: Buyer age-verification for bladed items 

 

To help keep buyers and sellers safe, we’ve expanded safety requirements for selling bladed items on ebay.co.uk, with the introduction of buyer age-verification to cover more potentially dangerous items. If you sell bladed items on ebay.co.uk, you need to:

 

  • Add an age-verified delivery option. Choose a delivery service that requires age verification on receipt.
  • Correctly package the bladed products, and clearly label the parcel to indicate there are bladed items inside. 
  • Ensure your packages are delivered to buyers in person, not to parcel lockers, collection points or via local pick up.

 

Please note that the sale of many types of knives and bladed items is already prohibited on eBay. However, legal bladed products for sale in the UK can be sold to customers who are 18 and over. Proof of age will be required at checkout. You can learn more about adding age-verified delivery options to your listings on our Seller Centre page.

Re: Multitool blades

Hi Thank you for your reply, I have no problem with proof of age on delivery, it is the fact I am being asked to varify my age with a credit card and pin number as soon as I add it to my basket, as mentioned before, ebay and PayPal already have all my details.

Re: Multitool blades

Others are seeing this too,  I believe it is that new message,  so perhaps eBay require the details to be re entered.

 

When you do,   is it still preventing you from completing the purchase?

Re: Multitool blades

I haven't put any details in yet, so I don't know, I am just very wary of putting my card details in, but as you say, others have seen this to,

Re: Multitool blades

I can't see why eBay would need your PIN number.

 

Are you sure it's not the CCV 3 digit number they're asking for?
