Two eBay accounts using same Bank account for Managed Payments

pjhco — Wed, 19 May 2021 01:18:38 GMT

for a very long time it has been possible to have two ebay accounts sending sales revenue to a single paypal account.
on the SYI form you just had to enter email address of the paypal account the sales revenue should go to. now, with Managed Payments, has this flexibility been lost? is it strictly one eBay account per Bank account?
i suspect it will be one only and a new Bank account will need to be opened. and if so will MP happily accept a brand new account with no user history and no statements available if needed for identity confirmation?
on the other hand, if it is actually possible to use the same bank for both, great, although i do wonder if it will be clear, from the statement entries, which of the two eBay accounts the funds are coming from?
this is very basic and important stuff, so i am rather surprised there are zero posts on this subject. before attempting to set up MP on two accounts, very many sellers will be needing answers to the central question:-
$$$ $$$ $$$ $$$ $$$ $$$
once one eBay account is set up for Managed Payments with a particular Bank account, including direct debit mandate, what happens if the same Bank account details are entered when setting up MP for the second eBay account? does MP accept? or reject because Bank account already associated with the first eBay account?
$$$ $$$ $$$ $$$ $$$ $$$ + $$$ $$$ $$$ $$$ $$$ $$$
the FAQs say nothing about any of this either. surely it affects very many sellers all deserving to be better informed while the hugely impactful Managed Payments changeover is upon us big-time now 😐

The name you use on ebay, e.g. John Smith, must match name on bank account.

so, as the OP, i say thanks for that, but there are many posts on here and on forum websites giving that information. what i cant find is an answer to the question i asked 😐

I opened a new bank account just for ebay & it was accepted without issues like ID. I don't see why you can't link 2 ebay accounts to same bank as long as your name om ebay & bank are the same.

OP says: ok, thats good to hear regarding ID. just to clarify for others reading this; you are talking about registered name on ebay being the same, not username. some people though seem to be having a lot of problems with confirming ID and i wonder why. for myself all i had to do was add bank details, ok the d/debit mandate and now just wait for 2 small amounts to appear on bank statement to be used to prove the bank account belongs to me. however although both my ebay accounts have been selling for more than 15 years and that may mean for MP that in depth ID checks are not necessary, i still hesitate to try the MP set up process on the second account in case it unjustifiably flags up doubts about creditability of either account and/or the bank account, with not good consequences. my expression stays the same 😐 but thanks for your optimistic input so far tobiasd4.

OP says - eBay asks if i accept any solution yet? no, no one has posted any clue on what actually happened when they tried to add the same bank for a second eBay account MP registration. i have however acknowledged the optimistic input from @tobiasd4. will keep on adding comments to keep the thread from sinking without trace 😐 will see if it works 🙂

and finally.. OP can report that the answer to this was already on here. apparently it is ok to have more than one ebay account MP set up on the same bank account. one post says they have six! thanks @tobiasd4 for keeping my thread alive. heres the thread that solved it:-
