eBay UK won't let me add a UK bank account without calling a US phone number

[harrismix]

I am now set up for eBay managed payments but i want to use a different bank account, if I ckick on payments it says: 'Your payment information is not available on international eBay sites' and I have to click a link to the USA eBay site, then I try to add a new bank account and it tells me I need to call a phone number in America.

transfer your account to the UK then upgrade to a business account,

because in the UK you need a business account to trade, private accounts are for unwanted personal items.

I am already in the UK, with a UK address and UK pounds, it's a personal account (not business)

[pixiesen2012]

you are 'trading' you state in your listings that you have items 'in stock' therefore you need a business account!

Recheck ... Registered in the USA .com site therefore an International seller ... as advised , transfer the ? Business account to the UK site

I have an individual account, my question was just about adding a UK bank account, it didn't check my listings, it immediately told me to call a phone number in the USA, thanks for your advice about changing to a different account type but that wasn't my question thank you

No one is asking you to change to a different account ... You are Based in the UK ...your account is Registered in the USA ... simply transfer the account you already have to the UK site as advised = adding Bank account problem solved !.
