Hello,

On June 21 I purchased an item. After payment, the seller contacted me asking for a scan of my ID/proof of address. Unsure if this was legitimate, I wrote to member to member support, who advised me not to share my ID and assured me that eBay had already provided the seller with all necessary information.

Following that advice, I informed the seller that I would not send my ID and requested a cancellation. The seller insisted on the ID for cancellation and threatened to report me to the police if I did not comply. I refused and reported the conversation to eBay.

This morning, the seller reported me to the police for fraud.

I'm honestly really distressed by this situation, I politely refused to provide a scan of my ID as it felt unsafe, so I requested an order cancellation, and now I've been reported to the police.

Is there anything you can do to help?
I am really in need of support.
