I don't sell anything here but I think this is a great idea.

How can you not have an ID? Do you have a drivers license, passport or any other official document that proves your identity?
I've never left the country so do not have a passport. Canada has more than enough to explore for little ol' me.
I don't drive, People drive me around if I ever need to leave the house (I rarely leave the house, to begin with, fairly agoraphobic, once every 6 months maybe)
I have bills in my name and an address, and a hospital card. Generally, those are enough to get by for just about anything including bank accounts. I used to not have an address, but I've had to settle down now that I have a kid.

If there is something I absolutely must use an ID for, I always try to find another way around it. In fact, IDs around my area are used so little for anything important, even my wife's ID has been expired for the last 3 years.

The only time I ever have an issue is when an overzealous cashier tries to card me for my smokes, Which I quit several weeks ago thanks to vaping so that hasn't been an issue anymore. When it was, I just talked to the owner of the convenience store who knows me.
 
How ID verification will stop sellers from selling low-quality products, especially most of them are digital products and their quality is subjective.

I would say more emphasis should be given to checking the quality BSTs being offered at Marketplace.

Just my two cents

Well, a seller could theoretically provide an excellent service the first time to get it approved, and then a shitty service to regular users once it's approved.

It's obviously going to stop something when lots of people are voting no ;)

And with how many negative reviews his BST is going to survive?

Easy, you block them out with good reviews like Sarkar does.

Probably the only thread on BHW with 50 million fresh accounts commenting on it.

Yes that's why there is a system meant to report it and there is shitlist section.

If that's the case then this should also be applicable to each and every buyer account (can't buy without ID verification).
Because fake buyers, orders, reviews needs to be controlled too?

I'd be up for that, but I think we have to compromise with the business owners for the suggestion to apply to sellers only.

Plot twist, you have to send a selfie with the ID in front of you ;D

Okay! Someone will create a forum using this idea and use those "ID's" to create Multiple payment profiles, sometimes use this to take loans too... Stay away from giving you're id's, selfie with id's or whatever you calls. Go to doctor, there's cure for overthinking.

I'm happy to give my ID to a company that adheres to UK regulations.

Good for you & that's your opinion doesn't need to be the same for me or anyone else. I think differently & have my own opinion & concerns. That doesn't mean I am trying to hide anything.

Rules and regulations if those have been implemented in a proper way the world have been a lot safer place.
 
Won't be long before ID verification for BHW service would be for sale on here shortly after the system is implemented.
