What the fuck, id check on a classifieds site? There are fake photo-of-id generators online if you're not afraid to submit that. But it's crazy that something like that is checked at all.
I really hope this pushes people back to Craigslist. The guy running that is a good dude.
Ya it's really starting piss me off as online marketplaces worked for years with no ID verification. Everyone just used online aliases and everyone was happy.
I keep getting nagged to verify so my account can reach more buyers and so sellers can see I am "real". Don't feel like uploading a drivers license or passport but I can't find a easy way around it. Unless I just stop using the site all together I suppose.
