eBay asks for ID

I changed my address in the account section by mistake. Thought I was adding a new one.

Then I received the notification saying that I will need to upload my ID before a deadline or I won't be able to receive my payout.🫤

Is that normal? 

Thank you guys.

Yes, it's normal, you made a change in your personal information.

 

eBay wish to check that the genuine owner has made those changes,  and not a hacker.

 

If the messages came through eBay messages,  then you must comply to complete the security check eBay are making on you.

eBay's automative system may have been triggered when you changed/altered/added an address to your eBay Account.

They have been updating eBay Members info for a while now. They will need a scan of your photo ID e.g. Passport or Driving Licence.

I updated mine about a year ago.

It's eBay’s Know Your Customer' checks under the Anti Money Laundering Regulations.   They are triggered by a number of things including changing a detail in an account.
