https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Member-To-Member-Support-DO-NOT/NEW-METHODS-OF-PAYMENT-ON-EBAY/qaq-p/6936299 <P>I was recently emailed by Ebay, asking me to update my details, seller would no longer be paid by Pay Pal, but directly into bank account by Ebay.&nbsp; &nbsp;I didn't have a problem with this, updated my details accordingly, (the only thing that had changed was my address), I confirmed my bank details etc, and that was that.&nbsp; &nbsp;Next day, I got an email with confirmation that I was now set up for this new payment method.&nbsp; &nbsp;I also got a second email thanking me for setting up a 'Direct Debit' instruction, I had no idea that this is what I was doing, the words 'direct debit' never appeared anywhere in the details that I updated.&nbsp; I discussed it with an online advisor, I couldn't make head or tail of their explanation, mainly because English was obviously not their first language.&nbsp; I tried to close my account but it won't let me do that for 30 days, as I had recently purchased something.&nbsp; As I tried to explain to the online advisor, there is no way I want Ebay to have access to my bank account via a direct debit, I'm interested to hear what other sellers have to say about this subject.</P> Fri, 23 Apr 2021 20:54:58 GMT culchie1292 2021-04-23T20:54:58Z https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Member-To-Member-Support-DO-NOT/NEW-METHODS-OF-PAYMENT-ON-EBAY/qaq-p/6936299 <P>I was recently emailed by Ebay, asking me to update my details, seller would no longer be paid by Pay Pal, but directly into bank account by Ebay.&nbsp; &nbsp;I didn't have a problem with this, updated my details accordingly, (the only thing that had changed was my address), I confirmed my bank details etc, and that was that.&nbsp; &nbsp;Next day, I got an email with confirmation that I was now set up for this new payment method.&nbsp; &nbsp;I also got a second email thanking me for setting up a 'Direct Debit' instruction, I had no idea that this is what I was doing, the words 'direct debit' never appeared anywhere in the details that I updated.&nbsp; I discussed it with an online advisor, I couldn't make head or tail of their explanation, mainly because English was obviously not their first language.&nbsp; I tried to close my account but it won't let me do that for 30 days, as I had recently purchased something.&nbsp; As I tried to explain to the online advisor, there is no way I want Ebay to have access to my bank account via a direct debit, I'm interested to hear what other sellers have to say about this subject.</P> Fri, 23 Apr 2021 20:54:58 GMT https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Member-To-Member-Support-DO-NOT/NEW-METHODS-OF-PAYMENT-ON-EBAY/qaq-p/6936299 culchie1292 2021-04-23T20:54:58Z https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Member-To-Member-Support-DO-NOT/NEW-METHODS-OF-PAYMENT-ON-EBAY/qaa-p/6936348#M1249061 <P>That is what the link between ebay and your bank account is called.&nbsp;&nbsp; They will not be withdrawing money from you.</P> Fri, 23 Apr 2021 22:28:54 GMT https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Member-To-Member-Support-DO-NOT/NEW-METHODS-OF-PAYMENT-ON-EBAY/qaa-p/6936348#M1249061 **peaseblossom** 2021-04-23T22:28:54Z https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Member-To-Member-Support-DO-NOT/NEW-METHODS-OF-PAYMENT-ON-EBAY/qaa-p/6936488#M1249144 Not strictly true.
