Hi everyone,I’m just wondering if anyone else has experienced ongoing issues with account verification on eBay and actually managed to get it resolved?I’ve had my eBay account since 2006 and only started selling more actively towards the end of last year. On 27 March, eBay initiated the bank verification process (the £0.01 deposit and withdrawal), but while the penny went into my account fine, they’re saying the withdrawal has been blocked by my bank.Since then, it’s been a constant cycle of calls back and forth. I’ve:Waited the advised 6–8 working daysContacted eBay multiple timesSpoken to my bankEven done a three-way call with eBay and my bankMy bank has confirmed they can only “unblock” anything for a very short window (around 15 minutes) when a transaction is actually being attempted, whereas eBay are saying to wait 48 hours for verification attempts. So the two processes don’t seem to align at all.I’ve now been told by eBay management that they are aware of a wider technical issue with verification, which they are trying to fix in the background—but there is no timescale. No indication whether that’s days, weeks, or even longer.At the moment, I have money sitting in my account that I can’t access. I’ve removed all my listings because I’m not willing to continue selling if I can’t withdraw my money.Has anyone else been through this and actually got it resolved? If so:How long did it take?Did you have to do anything specific to fix it?Just for clarity- I logged in via ebay to my bank to verify my account on 27th March. I have done it again today but I don't think its going to work! It feels like this has been going on for a while for quite a few people, and I’m just trying to understand whether there’s a realistic resolution or if it’s just a waiting game. Thanks in advance—any advice or shared experiences would be really appreciated.
