If it's any consolation, it can be like that here.I tried to get mine last year; registry rejected my SS card as it was laminated; the thing was beat to ****, had it since I was 16, had to get it laminated, they told me to jog down to the SS office and get a new one..........nope, they were unable to do it, had to do it on line and after getting one of those ice cream headaches trying to navigate their Civil War era website, I gave up.
I can't remember what other forms of ID they took that I did not have, so I renewed my license and just got a passport instead.
I haven't been on a plane since 1993 and don't plan on doing so anytime soon, but you can't get into a government building without the real ID or a passport.
Meanwhile, we had a wide open border for 4 years.................what an backward country this is sometimes.
I've heard about those changes Ebay has made, no idea what they are thinking, putting buyers off is not a good strategy for long term success.If it's any consolation, it can be like that here.
Now in UK and sell on ebay, even if you are a private seller like myself, but because I have gone over a certain threshold in selling this year I was required to inform them of my National Insurance Number so that HM customs and Revenue can decide if I need to pay tax, obviously everyone's circumstances will be different, but just another way things are changing.
Another thing about ebay, that has changed recently is that instead of the seller having to pay listing fees etc, the customer now has to pay what ebay term as buyer protection and I think this is putting people off along with buying, as everyone wants a straight forward transaction and not if they haven't been paying attention to these changes extra fees to pay.
Ebay have also made it more awkward for sellers when it comes to shipping.
I wanted to buy some 3d printed vehicles from a vender on ebay in the UK and the shipping etc was almost as much as the item I wanted so I did not get it. It's a shame because he had quite a few items that I would have boughtIf it's any consolation, it can be like that here.

I hope they make some adjustments, the Celtics are too talented to just keep chucking up three pointers.Now 0-6; I'm done with basketball this year, adios.
Not one but back to back blown 20 point leads, two horrendous fourth quarters, the Knicks win both games in Boston having had the lead for 12 seconds combined in both games.
KP has Ebola or some mystery illness, Brown is 75% with a knee issue, winning back to back championships is really, really hard.
Not their year.
I'm out.
so basically you want the best of both worlds . you want to enhance your income selling but not pay tax on it like retailers . my vat bill for the last quarter was over £8k why should your status be any different as you are not a casual seller if you are breaching the threshold .If it's any consolation, it can be like that here.

Totally agree on ebay and you have to wait and wait for your money, plus when it is released they do not tell you and you have to keep checking, have £962 on hold at the minute through no fault of mine, all items have been received.If it's any consolation, it can be like that here.

They are on fumes, gassed at the end of both games; that team has a **** ton of miles on it between last years run and the three who went to Paris for the games, they're done.I hope they make some adjustments, the Celtics are too talented to just keep chucking up three pointers.

I make the error not to use their postage as it is terrible, firstly the weights are all wrong and i do not want to underpay for any postage so the buyer has to pay, secondly does not into account other costs, such as buying boxes, but these can be expensive relative to the money a figure a sells for in the end. Finally do not want to fully give in to evilbay controllling everything and it is just too much trouble to do it all through them.
I am not fully sure how the insurance works, does it mean if something goes missing and/or damaged then ebay refund the buyer?
Agree, but i think one thing is missing from this discussion, tax and profit, no profit no tax.Nope, I am not a dealer, just a private seller, who in thinning out their collection, has come across this new rule and would of thought from your position on your high horse there, that you would of seen that !
But as I've noticed from comments you have made in the past, you jump to conclusions, that the original person had not meant, and instead of reading my post as intended, in that I was just passing on information, you took it upon yourself to decide that I was breaching rules when I'm not in fact.
