Providing Photo ID
eBay is asking for photo ID to continue selling, but I am very uncomfortable uploading my ID onto their system, where they'll store it for who knows how long. Does anyone know if they will accept a link to the photo on Dropbox or Google Drive instead...

With custom postage being rolled out and eventually the only option, I am a little confused and trying to clarify something please. If I am posting something of large letter size, less than 100 grams and low value - a DVD in it's case for example, I ...

New Rule - eBay to hold sellers funds for 14 days
Effective February 2025, ebay will hold private sellers funds for 14 days if the order is posted with an un-tracked delivery service (such as Royal Mail 2nd Class). I think it's a brilliant idea if they want private sellers to leave the platform in t...
What The Hell Is The International Fee For Private Sellers?
I admit I must have been living under a rock or something, but I was under the impression that when eBay 1) Removed fees for private sellers and 2) Brought in the "Buyer Protection Fee" to try and claw some of this back. But the justification was alw...
