Why was I asked to log on to my bank account to set up my ebay account?

[shodon_2501]

I sold a camera and when I was asked to set up my acc, i was directed to a site to select my bank then asked to log on. By the way, i did not. Just seemed a bit strange.

You said you were asked to log into your bank account to set up your ebay account (which obviously you already have an eBay account)

Is that correct?

OR

Are you saying you did not sign up to Managed Payments and be verified to sell before selling? and you have been asked to sign up to Managed Payments now? (so that you can be paid)

Plus you need to be aware that a brand new seller selling a camera worth several hundred dollars is going to be a magnet for scammers
