Bank account name does not match eBay name

Just wondering how all those people like me who have bank accounts with Initials and Surname can ever manage to sell on eBay, if eBay insists that the name on the account must match the name on eBay down to the last letter.  I have accounts with two different major banks and both are the same format. They have chosen to set up all of their customer accounts in this way,  one claimed they use initials as some some sort of security measure, and they cannot change it. One even has me listed as Mrs Initials and surname.  Obviously, my name is not "Mrs".  It is the same on my credit cards. It seems like the process has to be matched by a computer and not a human. Surely when First initial matches first letter of christian name and address matches etc, then some sort of logic should prevail.  I am just wondering how many thousands of people are being prevented from ever selling on this platform because of this stipulation, and how much money eBay is losing because of it.

 

I would love to hear your opinions/experiences regarding this.

I suppose you could always become a rapper. MC Capital could be your rapper name.
