I tried to sign up for an Etsy store today, and after spending about 30 minutes creating a listing and then entering all my personal details, I get to a screen that says I have to upload my government issued photo ID and it won't let me go any further without doing that.
I don't drive so have no driving license or a passport to use, and here in the UK we don't have government ID cards and this generally isn't an issue as I don't recall the last time someone asked me to prove who I was.
I have opened an ebay account and a Paypal account without requiring any photo ID, and I do have utility bills, and a letter from the HMRC (Tax office) showing my name, address and tax number etc.
