How do I connect my bank details to receive a payment
Summary: The discussion centers on medehunt seeking advice on connecting bank details to receive a payment. Several participants, including twyngwyn, sandypebbles, and *casey*, joined the conversation, but their responses did not contain substantive content.
I have just sold my first thing on EBAY and accepted offer and they want me to go through Trustly to give my bank log in details with passwords etc. How safe is this and can I give my account number and BSB instead somehow for direct transfer.

Yes, manually enter your bank account details
When you're verified with both your personal and bank details, you'll be subject to a transaction hold

As you're on the Free Selling plan, your payment will be On Demand, not automatically transferred to your account

There was another thread about this last week

For any new sellers worried about using Trustly:
Trustly is an open banking partner used by eBay to securely verify your bank account details for seller payouts.
It allows you to link your bank account without manually entering your bank account details.
Verification
When setting up Managed Payments as a seller, eBay may prompt you to log in to your bank using Trustly
Manual Alternative
If you are uncomfortable sharing your bank log in credentials with a third party, you do not have to use Trustly.
You can bypass by choosing " My bank is not listed" (even if it is) and manually inputting your bank account details
Security and Privacy
Encryption
Trustly uses bank level encryption and does not store your online banking username or password
Third Party Role
Trustly simply acts as a secure way to pass your bank account details to eBay for verification
Seller Tip
If you are hesitant to link your primary account, many sellers create a separate bank account dedicated exclusively to their eBay transactions

Trustly is safe to use but if you go to 'my bank is not listed', even if it is, you should have the option to enter your bank account details manually

Which should have been done before listing anything for sale
You cannot 'get around it' and direct bank transfer is not an option
