Ebay will not allow an overseas bank account to be used for receiving payments for sold item.

You do realise you are on the Australian board. ??

Correct
You are registered in the USA
Here in Australia, you need an Australian bank account to sign up for Managed Payments
Are the rules different there?
And in Australia, the time to do this is before listing anything so the seller can be verified to sell and ergo, be paid

Thatโs right, OP. To sell on eBay.com.au, you need an Australian bank account. This is in line with requirements by law (a measure against money laundering and fraud).
Are you sure you want to set up as a seller on eBay.com.au? Shouldnโt you be setting up on eBay.com as youโre registered in the US?
If youโre trying to specify a bank account other than a U.S. one, I canโt see anything that specifically addresses that on the relevant eBay.com Help page.
Have you read these Help pages?
https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/getting-paid/registering-seller?id=4792
https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/getting-paid/start-getting-paid-ebay?id=4795
If those links donโt help, ask on the US community boards and hopefully youโll get the information you need.

Are you in Australia now as I see you sold an item here showing
"$200 + $25 Postage anywhere in Australia" in the description.
As already mentioned, you'll need to be signed up for managed payments with an Australian bank account to
receive your money.

So if the item hasn't been posted, I suggest you cancel the transaction
