You have to provide government issued ID if you are a high volume seller that is a business and not an individual. There are also different rules about address disclosure for corporations. Per the blog post

This from the article

> However, sellers that are not individuals (businesses) must provide a valid personal government ID on behalf of the seller (business) or provide a valid government-issued record or tax document that includes the business name and physical address.

This is easy to do.

I use 1Postal as my “virtual mailbox” now that my wife and I fly across the US six months out of the year and our “home” the other six months is a unit in a “Condotel” in Florida that we own that doesn’t accept mail.

It specifically shows up as a physical address for post office coding and lookup purposes and not a PO Box.

Setting up an LLC is also easy to do and relatively cheap using sites like nolo.com.
