With effect from 1st July, 2007, Lelong has streamlined their ID verification process. No longer will they accept a fax copy of MyKad. Now, every one has to send in a digital image of it. Lelong Admin only mentioned an image captured with the digital camera. What about a scanned copy? A scanned copy is way clearer than one taken with a digital camera, anyway.
While I am all for changes for the better, I think that Lelong is restricting us by not offering both the option to fax and to scan. A long time ago when I verified my identification card, many fellow Lelongers told me that not everyone has a fax machine and it is not easy for them to fax a copy to Lelong office.
Similarly, not everyone has a good quality digital camera even today. Personally, I don't have a good camera myself even though I sell online. I feel that Lelong should offer as many ways for people to choose from for verification of identity. This will drive more users to the marketplace and it will only go business good for Lelong and Sellers on Lelong.
