I can't give my real name so I will use a pseudonym: I have bought and sold for decades since sometime in the previous century using always the same Ebay account, under the name Jack Kennedy. Now on my most recent sale which I just posted, Ebay is telling me that I cannot get paid unless I provide them with an IBAN for a bank account which must be in the name of Jack Kennedy. However all of my bank accounts for decades have been under my real name of John Kennedy, Jack is just a nickname, surely you Brits have heard of nicknames?? I have the feeling that my previous purchases and sales under Ebay went by way of PayPal and I never had any trouble with my name on those payments. Anyway here I sit, in a "Community", hassling with an organization which does everything in its power to avoid having to read and answer an email, or allowing its customers to dial a number and talk to a real human being, If Ebay does not approve my bank account I will have to tell the buyer that I cannot deliver unless he sends me the money directly. That's surely not what Ebay wants to happen.
