Optional identify verification via a selfie, similar to the systems now used by banks, will make buying and selling more secure, says the giant classifieds site.

without ever having to visit a branch: you provide your ID number and take a selfie, and that is matched to the government database of identity photos. The process should take under two minutes, unless the automated attempt at matching fails, and manual verification is required.

Buyers will be able to filter search results to include only those from verified sellers, Gumtree says.
