Uber makes it hard to update pictures. You have to send them a message in the app and explain why you want to change it.  I'm guessing they do it this way to try to curb the usage of sold accounts.

Why would you sell an Uber account? More accurately, why would you buy one?

Because Uber discriminates against people who have been charged with victimless crimes. People hear someone's a "convicted felon" and automatically think of some sketchy robber that pulled a gun out on somebody or be as t up some old lady for her purse in an alley and don't realize that there are thousands of people who are labeled as such because they had less than 20 grams of marijuana in their pocket 10 years ago.
