I’m in the middle of the ame problem, trying to register an account with EBay using an Australian bank account. This is even more frustrating because this is my money that EBay is refusing to pay into my account. The no-help desk said they won’t give any reason why the account couldn’t be verified - “we don’t have that information”. The fact that Ebay chooses not to give you specific reasons, means that users like me don’t have specific information they can take up with their bank. I even got the very helpful advice from EBay that I should open an account with a different bank, though without knowing why EBay knocked back the first account I have no way of knowing what I need to look for in a new account. The “resolution” is that I can’t get paid and EBay can’t be bothered trying to find a solution. Money will sit with them for a few months and then they will send it off to an unclaimed money pot administered by the government. The funny thing is that I have been through that process before when money genuinely was unclaimed (as opposed to this situation where EBay is choosing to keep it) and the government paid the money by direct debit into the account that EBay won’t pay to. I’m joining the masses of people not selling in EBay.
