Scam - Will take your money and leave
I just tried to order a giftcard for ebay and they locked my account shortly after sending payment and giving me the redemption code. It is my first purchase and they want me to upload my id and verify my idenity. I don't feel comfortable at all and it is my first purchase. Scam Edit: May 2nd, They reactivated my account, I tried to login, and then it said 'logged out successfully'. I then tried to login again and proceeded to see that my account wasn't 'really' reactivated even though my email said otherwise. And the next day, it said it was deactivated again. They ask for all your personal information before getting a basic giftcard. I can't buy anything (not even $5 card) without submitting my id or true identity. I understand it is essential to prevent fraud, but that should be for major purchases that are $100+ and repeated purchases. I, however, was sent by a referral and wanted to try it out and it is preposterous to want to see my id for a basic giftcard order ($5-20) I do not trust sending money, because it will be on hold for 3-5 business days, and just because they tell you that it is resolved/reactivated on email or that they want to get it resolved on trust pilot, doesn't mean they won't turn around and deactivate your account again...right after saying it was activated and resolved. If i were a customer, I would look elsewhere and/or not give more than $5-20 dollars , because it can be held/refunded back
