Verify my bank account to sell on eBay?
Summary: 401keithr expressed concern about verifying their bank account for receiving payments on eBay, as they do not use online banking and their account is a joint one. tobiasd4 clarified that eBay no longer pays into PayPal, requiring a verified bank account for sales proceeds. fargvs suggested ensuring that all account details are updated and referred to UK-based banking requirements, providing links for more information.
Been a member since 2005 and made hundreds of purchases, but only about 45 in selling, I have'nt sold anything for a while but I've just sold an item and now I'm asked to verify my bank account, I usually pay with PayPal and any payment to me goes back into the same account, I also have two Mastercards linked to my eBay account.... My first problem is that I don't do online banking so can't log in to my bank to verify it, my second problem is that I was told I could upload a bank statement to verify it but it's a joint account, (myself and my wife ) which means it won't match my eBay details as it's in my name only, so I'm stumped really, my wife has always been dead set against online banking anyway but I can't change it from a joint account, so it looks like I can buy anything I want and I can sell anything I want but just can't get paid!!!!!! Any ideas? Keith...

Mentor2 weeks agoRecheck that your account setup is completely updated including valid UK Addressed/Based Banking details (not internet/ website Banks) on file in order to send, receive and request payments ? --- Best use a PC/Laptop to make the changes --- may take a few days to verify >

Mentor2 weeks agoEbay hasn't paid into PayPal for years, although you can still use it to pay for purchases.
You need to add bank account (not card) and have it verified to have sales money paid into it.
