Asking for recommendations in how you might be getting around ID verification on websites and online marketplaces?

I want to be able to use my local online marketplace, but I keep getting asked to provide ID verification or my ads for second hand items dont recieve as many views as a result?

Edit: when referring to online marketplaces I was referring to second hand marketplaces like Carrot, Kijiji, Craigslist, Facebook.

    these marketplaces are usually for individuals selling to individuals, like garage sales they’re usually tax exempt afaik

        yeah, I’ve recently sold some things but I asked a friend to do it because I refused to create a fb account. And Craigslist didn’t ask me for ID, but they’re just automatically removing my posts without any reason in sight…

      Ah yeah, I guess if it’s all sales at a loss like used items, then it doesn’t require sales tax licenses or anything. I have an LLC for any selling or services so nothing is under my direct identity. Was super easy to set up in my state. But I also don’t know how it is outside the US or anything.
