A copy of my driver's license was not required. It was as easy as choosing my bank from a list and keying in my account and routing numbers. That was it.

Changing an item from 5 to 3 is not eBay's business.
Why don't I want to join MP. I live in Los Angeles. Social Security Cards can be purchased in many dark alleys here. There is also some 'Nice Folk' in the DMV here that can dish out a new Drivers License for a few Benjamins in a jiffie. Just the the 'nice folk' on eBay that harassed the Steiners.
I own a house here in Los Angeles worth more $850,000.
Why Would I give a copy of my Drivers License? Really. A new photo can be inserted on stock provided by a Wonderful Disgruntled DMV Employee!!! LOL, Especially in L.A. As in many Cities in the US.
SS#? Easily faked.
Active Log in to my Bank account?
Why would I not give such info. My Crib. Don't need to leave town for a few days and return to find my Crib has been painted, weird cars in the driveway, and folks on the porch that are not my Family. Don't need my Identity or Crib stolen. That's what I have to lose.
What do you. Mam. Have to lose?
They don't need to go to such extents and it is easier and safer just to block changes to everything, besides you have made the decision to discontinue to sell on Ebay, so if you are selling the inventory elsewhere, just move it there.
Cloning SSNs and other financial information doesn't just happen in LA, it is pretty much everywhere.
"Just the the 'nice folk' on eBay that harassed the Steiners." Interesting, I don't remember anyone making any such statement on the threads, here or elsewhere. The handful of employees involved in this irresponsible, deplorable and inexcusable actions, over a year ago, haven't been employed by Ebay for just about as long. So how this subject plays into the discussion here, that is a mystery too. If it is just a way to throw shade on Ebay as a reason why you are leaving, you really don't need to do that. You have every right to leave Ebay even if you don't have any reason. Your decision to do so is enough.
I'm not sure of what your house value has to do with this discussion either, but congratulations.
Not everyone has to supply a drivers license. That is just some sellers that for whatever reason Ebay is having trouble with the information previously given to them. For the most part we just give them three things. Bank routing number, bank account number and SSN.
You also do not have to supply your login info for your bank. You can if they ask you for it, again not everyone is asked, but you don't have to, you can drop to the bottom of the screen and locate you bank, then do that process which does not require a login. FYI, Ebay never has access to your login info and the screen TOS tells you that as well.
So when you gave your SSN and bank account to PP, what was your thought process on that? Why is it different for Ebay? I only ask so that I can better understand, nothing more. I want to stress again, you have every right to make the decision you have made and I respect that.

Waiting for a response.
Wiki Wiki.
Mahalo.
Well that simply is NOT true. Ebay isn't "phasing" these sellers out. Currently it is one of the categories MP does not support so sellers that primarily sell in any of the categories they don't support will NOT be entering MP yet and allowed to stay with PP. Mp hopes to have the issues worked out sometime next year and at that time they will enter MP. But they are NOT being shut down. That is simply bad information that some posters keep passing around but it has no basis in truth or facts.
@punkparrots wrote:Many Posters on here had accounts where they were selling Currency. They switched to MP and can no longer Sell their Currency. So maybe the Seller was not phased out, there ability to sell Currency was. So they are being phased out of a portion of their business.
MP cannot even figure out their current issues. Do you really think they are going to sort this out in a timely fashion to move onto Currency? Not to mention all the other MP problems eBay is having in it's Roll Out across the Globe. Many sellers in other Countries are not 'Feeling It' also.
Some sellers occasionally sold in categories in which MP does not support and those sellers could not any longer sell any of those items because they moved into MP, this is true. I didn't say anything about sellers that only occasionally sold in these areas and because they could no longer sell these item in MP still doesn't mean what you originally said which were that the sellers were being "phased out".
If a seller in MP still has the need or desire to sell in a category in which MP does not support they can, if they want, open a new selling account on Ebay and sell those items specifically under that selling ID. There is no problem doing this.
MP's specific problem with coins and paper money is highly likely the same problem other money processors have with it, and that problem is likely the Anti money laundering laws. Even PP now doesn't offer any protection for these sellers. So while it may be important to you to lay this issue at Ebay's feet, the truth of the matter is that it likely is not their issue.
What issues in MP? What problems are you speaking to specifically? There are things I personally would like to see improve in MP, but that doesn't mean there are "issues" with the program. It simply means I'd like to see some improvements that would benefit lots of sellers. Mp is no where near perfect or as flexible as PP is. So it is easy to see why some dislike it especially moving from PP to MP.
It is easy to confuse how the program was designed to function as been an issue with the policy when it isn't. it is the sellers taking issue with how the program was designed. While still a very important thing to discuss, it doesn't mean there is something wrong with the program. It means we see where MP could be improved and should be in many cases sooner rather than later.

Yet it is highly likely that if you want to stay an internet seller and use a site similar to Ebay you will have to do managed payments of some sort with those sites. Ebay, Etsy, Amazon, Poshmark, Mercari, etc. All have their own form of MP and not all that different from what Ebay offers.
There are smaller sites you can go to, but then, depending on what you are selling, you may have a traffic problem which translates in lower sales. It is just something we each need to consider when we are trying to decide what is best for us. We each have to do what is right for our little businesses. But it is best to make an informed decision with the actual facts and not with assumptions and bad info which this thread has all of the above represented here.
