Is anyone using this art auction site, servers based in Holland, Europe? I am inclined to think that asking for a full color, hi-re s photo of your passport (they really need to know who you are!!!) is possibly leaving sellers vulnerable to identity theft - no matter how much art is sold?!

I know a lot of the big sites do this when dealing with originals as they need to know you live where you say and you are a real person

It covers them when advertising your work as they know where to find you if you default on a sale.

However, I don't belong to any for the same reason you just said. Just in case.

Thank you, it seems few use this site - mebbe scared-off by the insecure 'security'?!

Jack,

You have kind of wrapped this up, so a side note from earlier today. My GPs office emailed me to see their portal. I have unsubscribed from their portal two years ago. The only thought I had was I wonder when they get hacked?

I agree, I will be most likely withdrawing
from Catawikiart, unless someone can
constitute an ID Bank rather like
PayPal - where you just supply your
email and the "IDBank" verifies your
online ID :)
