We require ID verification to ensure that the person ordering is the owner of the payment method that they are using. This is important because criminals try to use stolen cards that they are not authorized to use and it results in fraud chargebacks and losing money for us. With most shopping websites the buyer and recipient are usually the same, but for us since the buyer is often abroad and recipient is in Gambia when this happens it is very difficult for us to resolve. It is for the same reason most money transfer services also require ID verification.

No, we do not require ID verification for PayPal orders.
