We're in the same camp, Sam, you said it well. What's your store name? I may be looking for hatching eggs soon here.

Hey guys, I sell on eBay. Plant cuttings mostly but also a few other items. At the beginning of the year they sent an email saying unless the account was verified, actions would be blocked. This account is 5+ years old with 100% feedback. Verification to them means uploading a picture of a government-issued id, driver's license, or passport with your photo on it. Am I crazy to think that's uncalled for?? I don't trust eBay with that kind of information.
Opened a new account, took me a month of work to get the listings transferred over. It's a couple months old, just got the message today: unless I upload photo ID by May 7th, any payouts will be withheld.
As always I checked Reddit, people there are having the same problems, no solution. It is not a scam, the message is directly from eBay on their website.
I feel like this is complete overreach. I'm at a loss of what to do.
I looked into selling on Etsy, and their percentage they take is outrageous. Also you have to use their personal online payment system which is not secure at all.
I've tried selling on here, and it's not really viable.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
Are there any other eCommerce sites that you know of? I believe Depop is clothes only, I need to be able to sell plant cuttings as well.

It's actually been quite the nightmare here, especially with the amount of witchcraft being done by these neighbors (a different story entirely though)

You can't just drop this and not tell the story!!!

Hey hey, I'm going to need to insulate a 14x32 shed to use as a workshop, could I cut up and use styrofoam coolers? I have an excess of them and they're thick enough. Would it sweat or anything weird? The winters here are pretty mild except for a week or two where it gets below zero, but I will need the insulation.
Thoughts?

Hang out at Walmart lol
(with supervision of course!!!)

Oh interesting thought, Matt...I didn't consider repeat customers. I'm used to eBayers not bothering to look what store their products come from (although a few have ordered again which was super nice) I do keep all contact info though incase there is a problem...there have been a few times were I'm glad I had proof!

Just sharing my Permapeople Marketplace here!

Joylynn, just made an account, thank you! Looks so cool!
Doug, planning on this in the future but you have to pay for a domain. Not sure if it ends up being more or less than the fees eBay takes, though.
As for Marketplace I have heard bad things about that..apparently it attracts customers that like to cause trouble
I will check out the flea market forum Anne!

Ok you guys, where do y'all sell your plant materials? Cuttings, Herbs, Seeds etc...I am on eBay but just wondering if there is another site I could try. I was going to try Etsy but it seems very saturated.

Our fairgrounds dumps all their manure into a mountain in the parking lot that anyone can shovel into all year round. The stuff is gold-my plants are growing themselves this year!
