wouldn't wanna be ya! 😉

I am happy with selling on eBay at the moment, and I'm also not the one spitting the dummy about having to provide legally required information.

I'm also at a loss to understand why you have a store when you have ONE listing and have sold bugga all recently. Which might be more indicative of the reasons for your attitude than the requirement to provide information.

Hi, I guess you may have to in the end but I totally agree with you. This is sensitive info. I too would be uncomfortable in giving that extra sensitive info over. Below is a thread about a similar thing but with PayPal.

 Paypal now restricting accounts, ignoring emails; requests by customers

BTW: yellowmusicbox, if there's a way around this I do hope that you can achieve it.  And good on you for having your say as this is what this forum should be asbout!

Me. It's handy for ordering home delivered pizzas.

There will still be times it will be needed when sending a payment request for extra postage or item charges.

I see you're still here, still paying for a store, and still selling a couple of items per month.

it becomes difficult if the acc is say a wifes savings acc - they want letters of authorisation (and the upload didnt work for the 1st week) so pick your acc to match your name

The process is not as bad as it sounds,  for private sellers all you need is your drivers licence number,  Bank Account Name, BSB and  ACC numbers.  Then you have to upload   a Bank Statement (less than 3 months old)  Note, I just downloaded and provided a proof of balance and that was sufficient.

 

I am pretty sure the name of the ebay account holder  and that of the bank account have to match

 

For business accounts you had to include  ABN, ACN  and details of anyone with more than 25% share

That is a given.....why would you try and give a bank account that is not in your name?

im done here this is the final straw...NO Way re: managed payments and try speaking with the folks here via phone ...ive sold successfuly over the years but ebay have pushed and pushed aka removal of neg feedback on buyers then it was the SCAM of slicing off a cut of your postage fees NOW they want to know your personal  banking details and govt ID..NO WAY..and despite all of the assurances I WONT be giving my personal details out..Ive sold here for 10+ years never renegged on a sale..always tried hard to do the right thing..cant always get it right..yet this mob treat us with the UTMOST CONTEMPT..they charge exhorbitant fees and Im done.. that means leaving because if you dont then they just keep on treating sellers like doormats someone has to start and im sure im not alone...
