Yes, I believe she does. "On receipt of cleared funds, lots can be collected from our saleroom during office hours- Monday-Friday 9:30am-5pm.

They do look beautiful but I have to be honest, I am not sure I am willing to provide a copy of my drivers license just to buy a dress
It's probably because of money laundering regulations. I work in bookkeeping, and you'd be amazed how much money laundering issues come up. Here we are more concerned with actual laundering, but I would guess antiques are one way for nefarious people to remove stains from dirty cash.
Agree - I actually registered because there is one lot that does interest me - I mailed in a copy of my passport yesterday and got confirmation today. Anything were large amounts of money change hands is suspect when it comes to money-laundering unfortunately. Same over here...
I work at a bank so I am very familiar with anti money laundering. I don’t believe that’s the reason as ample commercial transaction on Etsy, eBay and elsewhere take place without such document requirements. Either way, I so love those bathing suits. I wish I could bid.
