<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ed Snible, post: 3096540, member: 82322&quot;]We have <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/auction-registration.311415/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/auction-registration.311415/">discussed this platform&#039;s requirements before</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>I used &quot;1234&quot; for my Document Number and &quot;Other&quot; for my Document Type. I used my real birth year. I used January 1st for the birthday which is not my real birthday.</p><p><br /></p><p>The site happily takes my bids with this information.</p><p><br /></p><p>Last year I was compelled to give my real birthday to an Italian auction house that I was dealing with for the first time. They sent me an email asking for my &quot;date and place of birth.&quot; This seemed sketchy to me... They wouldn&#039;t even send me an invoice until I gave them this. I eventually learned that many legit Italian businesses can&#039;t generate an invoice until they have an Italian Tax ID number -- which needs a real birthday and the city (for Italians) or country (for non-Italians). A form like <a href="https://www.paginebianche.it/eng/codice-fiscale" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.paginebianche.it/eng/codice-fiscale" rel="nofollow">https://www.paginebianche.it/eng/codice-fiscale</a> generates the number.</p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, it was not an ancient coin I was getting from Italy but a historical medal. The tax requirement is not about export but I suspect designed to foil VAT (sales tax) evaders.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
