Asking for recommendations in how you might be getting around ID verification on websites and online marketplaces?

I want to be able to use my local online marketplace, but I keep getting asked to provide ID verification or my ads for second hand items dont recieve as many views as a result?

Edit: when referring to online marketplaces I was referring to second hand marketplaces like Carrot, Kijiji, Craigslist, Facebook.

yeah, I've recently sold some things but I asked a friend to do it because I refused to create a fb account. And Craigslist didn't ask me for ID, but they're just automatically removing my posts without any reason in sight...
