The UK has no Government Photo I.D
We are a " free" country. We do not need or should have an I.D. this is what " they" want a digital Gov I.D. to monitor everything you do. It is a No from me and should be from anyone who cares about their privacy and to live unencumbered from interference which is embedded in our English " constitutional" Laws ... Not legislation - legislation is NOT Law. People need to research and learn their true rights. ( and before anyone says we don't have a " constitution " we do, and it is where America gets theirs from, America had theirs " written into law" 2nd amendments etc . We do not, but we do have the original... Bill of Rights, Magna Carta ,Bills of Exchange... these are ALL Primary Laws and cannot be altered or removed..( they have tried and failed as those laws are set in stone and without there could be no Gov or Royalty) all Gov can do is bring in "legislation" ( secondary) ... We the people " made" Government to protect us and our Country, the people came first.
I am old enough to have been taught these in school, before they were removed from the curriculum.
There is far too much to write here, and I only offer this for some information and ask you to research for yourself.
History can teach us so much, especially in this day and age.
Once my generation is gone - our children of today and tomorrow will not be aware of their true rights, sadly and forced through " planned" ignorance to live a live monitored, surveilled, restricted, and probably in fear. Not something I would wish to see.
Ebay cannot ask for what you cannot provide.
You are a private individual and for any corporate to have dealings with you, they are required to have a contract - a contract is " agreed" between two parties. It is not a dictatorship.
If you accept this, then you are agreeing to their terms, and you have the right to protect your private information. Remember this.
Passports and/or Driving License ( valid) are usually accepted forms. i.e to open a bank account, travel abroad or drive a vehicle.
Everyone does not have a passport or drives.
A government letter ( with private details redacted) showing your name and address IS sufficient.
This is what I did - it was accepted and if eBay are refusing you or restricting your account when you have already jumped through their " identity" checks ie. bank accounts, verifications, good standing account for xyz years etc etc...they are preventing you for something which you cannot provide - this is coercion. What they want is your National Insurance number and say it is for Government purposes ( legislation) ... Gov and Big Businesses are joining together ( and have for a long time) to put in place all of these types of " for your Safety, Verify, Identity ( prove who you are ) etc etc. They dress it up and call them " policies" and/or legislation....You are not an employee and have rights as a private human being. Further it is so they can move to a " digital age" system whereby everything is " automated"... by holding your personal details (and now your face) , this makes it easier for a " computer to say, yes NO!" ( this is not just eBay either, this is every big corporate and they are sharing and selling your data)
You are not a photograph, a reference number nor are you a piece of paper.
Birth Certs state on them " this is not a form of identity " this is because you were born a living human being and have the right to protect your individual self.
This message requires no response, I am not asking for you to agree to what I say, it is offered as stand alone information simply to assist and for people to think and research for themselves.
Edit - spelling, I may have missed some 😉
