Verifying your banking details
To receive payouts, you’ll need to link your bank account to your eBay account. It’s important to make sure that the names on both accounts match.
- For a personal account, your first name and last name should be the same on your bank account and your eBay account
- For a business account, the business name associated with your bank account should be the same as the business name you use to register on eBay
- For example, if the business name on your bank account is “Joe’s Hobby Shop”, that’s the name you should use to register for your eBay business account
It’s also important to make sure that your account type on eBay matches your bank account type. For example, if you have a business eBay account, you’ll need a business bank account to register as a seller.
To verify your bank account, we'll need:
- Name on the bank account
- Bank name
- Sort code
- Account number
Once we verify your information, we’ll send you an email to let you know you’re set up.
If we can't verify your information, we may ask you to verify your linked bank account another way, such as:
Logging into your bank
When verifying your account, if your bank is available in the Add a bank account list, you can select it and log in directly with your bank credentials. This is the fastest way to verify your bank account.
Using microdeposits
Alternatively, you can verify your account using two microdeposits (small payments) sent to your linked bank account.
Here’s how to verify your account using microdeposits:
- Sign in to Seller Hub - opens in new window or tab or My eBay - opens in new window or tab.
- Select the banner to verify your bank account.
- Select Verify with microdeposits.
- Once they’ve reached your account (3-5 business days), sign in to Seller Hub or My eBay.
- Select the banner to verify your bank account and enter the microdeposit amounts.
It can take up to 5 business days for microdeposits to reach your account, and we’ll email you to confirm they’ve arrived. The microdeposits will be withdrawn from your bank account within a few days.
Tip
Don’t attempt to enter any amounts until the microdeposits have reached your bank account as this could cause issues with verifying your account.
Providing your bank statement
If we can’t verify your linked bank account using one of the methods above, you may need to send us a colour picture of a recent bank statement for that account. If we need this additional information, we’ll send you an email with instructions on how to upload the image.
Please make sure that the bank statement:
- Is for the account you’re trying to register
- Is for an account that belongs to you and shows your first and last name, or legal business name
- Shows the address of the account holder
- Is 3 months old or less
- Shows at least the last 4 digits of your bank account number
- If it’s a credit union account, include the last 4 digits of the account number and not the member number
- Contains the official letterhead of your bank
Your image can be in JPEG, JPG, PDF, or PNG format. The maximum file size is 4 MBA.
