There are federal regulations surrounding financial transactions that eBay and their processor are required to comply with. 

 

One of them is periodic Identity Verification. That verification has specific things involved, one being verification by a government issued ID.  

 

This is a good thing, helps keep the platform safe from hacked accounts and shenanigans. 

 

Send in the requested information and you will be good.

More than likely the financial instituion part of ebay needs to verify your identity. It's quite normal for sellers to be asked for proof of identity. It's a win win for everyone to help prevent fraud.
