HI,

Yes that does happen. Did you go through the ID verification process? If not, you should take time to do so. It costs $5.00 one time fee but is well worth the effort and cost. ID verification will also eliminate the need to supply proof of who you are via other means such as utility bills etc.

I realize it seems invasive for eBay to request such documents. On the other hand, it is one method of verifying sellers to help protect the community against fraud.

Also, if you are a new seller, I suggest you take the time to complete your "My World" page if you have not already done so. You have lots of work to do on that page, Bio, feedback, Blog, Review and Guides as well as your About Me page. It is worth the time it takes as parts of My World are searchable. Just a thought.

Hope that helps a bit.
