Automatic payment method issue for new accounts?
 

On all of my new eBay accounts eBay is not allowing me to add any sort of automatic payment method, which means I can't list anything! I've tried credit card, bank account, and PayPal. PayPal even had both a bank account and credit card attatched. Has anyone else been having this issue? Not sure what to do!

You should call Ebay

I did I've been on the phone with them for 2 days straight. They keep saying they will forward it to their technical team and call me back.. but it doesn't seem like a technical problem it seems like they're doing it on purpose.

Yeah been having the same issue ,been trying to add a VCC since yesterday.
Contacted eBay and they said it's a known issue and they've got their technical team looking into it.
Hopefully should be sorted out soon.

Edit - don't know if it's the same for a US account.

Do you guys think that eBay is doing this one purpose for stealth accounts? Or do you think it's actually a technical issue?

I've been having the same problem. I contacted eBay about it on Tuesday and this is the message they sent me earlier today.

They also told me when I spoke to live chat that people are having problems connecting PayPal accounts as well.
Hopefully it will be sorted by the weekend.

Same here. Annoying as hell

try adding your vcc on a different browser, sometimes it does work when changing the browser.
