> Any time I try to create an account to use for business purposes I'm asked for id within minutes and then they still ban the account.

That's because they require accounts to represent an individual. They're pretty clear that it can't be for a business or a non-human entity. You can set up a professional account from your personal account, but the account has to be for a person.

You have to no choice but to create a 'personal' account. What I mean is I'm setting up a new 'personal' account (with my real name, age, etc) which uses my business email (firstname@business.com). Requiring everything business related to be tied to a real personal account is insane.
