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 am starting my shop soon. Is it a good idea to start using PirateShip from the get-go? How do I utilize it? What’s the best practices for linking it and getting quality shipping rates?
I will ship less than 200 packages a month. Hopefully
Heard about this on the Clark Howard radio show (the watch your wallet guy). Not sure if a link is allowed, but it's literally called Pirate Ship - online software that gives small shippers a discount on UPS and USPS shipping rates. The account is free and no subscription fees. Also has integrations with WooCommerce and other platforms.
Is this too good to be true?
