So my account has been flagged for review by security and they're asking for a photo of me holding my ID. Has anyone encountered this problem using this website? I don't feel safe giving them a photo of my face and ID when i've already given them my bank infromation. For the record all I've done is made an account and I haven't been able to purchase anything.
Edit: Ok so I sent them the photo of me and my ID and nothing has happened so far and I was able to make my purchase so they seem pretty legit
2nd Edit (August 25, 2025): Still nothing has happened to my account. Pirateship seems to be legit
I’m seeing mixed reviews— mainly that it tacks on all these fees/charges after the fact. I need to ship some stuff as cheaply as possible— but I also want it to arrive safely
Edit: link to site
Hi, I've started shipping packages with Pirateship and I just tried it out with a friend who ordered something from me on etsy. However I'm a little confused about the email it sends out, I have the settings turned on so that etsy sends out an email when I print the shipping label with Pirateship as well as an email from Pirateship itself. However when I asked my friend she only received the email from Pirateship which doesn't include the tracking number, and not the one from etsy. Am I doing something wrong?
You can't really blame people for wanting to save money but damn. One of our more reliable customers who usually ships $300 to $500 dollars a month with us just made the switch. Does anyone have any good points we can use to possibly win our customers back?
As far as I can remember I haven't ordered anything online in a while, and I have no clue what this could be nor have I ever heard of pirateship. Could someone give some insight on whether or not this could be a scam?? I'm so lost
