So we all knew that LBC was already going down the path of forced verification for advertisers, and they made the move that all advertisers will have to verify themselves before they can trade back in January.. And then later there was a warning for all people who had a high trade volume and "recommended" that they verify their identity. But I never expected them to actually restrict somewhat high volume traders so fast, since I was greeted with this message:
You need to verify your identity before you can continue trading. Proceed to verify your identity
I mean, you could still create new accounts and trade from them anonymously, but it's a tedious process to go through email and phone verification all the time. And a lot of offers won't be available to you because of the fact that you can't consistently trade up for a good reputation.
Time to move to a new p2p trading platform?
This does not like true information, I have been using the localbitcoins more than 3 years but still there is nothing has been asked from the localbitcoins site. If the trader have policy to trade along with ID verification means you need to go ahead with the Id card verification which is internationally accepted. That is how LBC policy works so far mate.
If the furnished information is true. First share the policy image which shows the details you mentioned.
