I wanted to start selling on Etsy, but it turns out, it's impossible for me to verify my identity.
I live in Quebec, Canada. And do not have a drivers license. That's relevant because a drivers license is one of the ID that they accept. I also don't have a passport.
I have a government issued Medicare card, it has my photo, my full legal name, signature, and expiration date. Everything Etsy said the ID needed, but they don't accept that. I have no idea why. It's seem needlessly obtuse, they have my ID, they have all this other information on me, but I guess it's not good enough for them. Signing up to a website like Etsy, even to be a seller, shouldn't be this hard.
They also waited until I paid the 26$ account setup fee before telling me this. So that sucks too. It's also non refundable. Go figure.
