Hello,
does anybody knows which online banks eBay accepts? I was using Wise, Revolut, Pockit, N26, but they are not accepted by eBay anymore.

Personally I would stick to main banks - HSBC, Nationwide etc - they can still be opened online easily enough

NatWest, Barclays and bank of Scotland no goers but all the rest should be fine.

Dont use HSBC they don't like you using current or saver accounts for business use. I recently was asked to open a business bank account with them because my Adyen deposits from ebay flagged me up on their system. They didn't know what Adyen was, I had to explain as well plenty of other nosey questions.

HSBC sounds like Capital One for USA. . . a total pain.

I had a really good week on this ebay account and instead of ebay putting my account on review, it was HSBC instead ! been given 2 months to take account off ebay and use a different account, ideally a HSBC business bank account which they have asked me to apply for.

They gave me a bad time because I had made an error with the spelling……
took 3 weeks to get my funds off their hands. Never again

Hello to every one,
What about non-residence in the UK?
We are not allowed to have a high street bank account.
For example, my company is in the UK, but I'm again limited with the banks.
So any suggestion that we can link our bank account from any fintech bank?

Non-residents easily get an e-money management institutions bank account, such as revolut wise payoneer etc.
Although, some banks facilitate incorporation to companies that are registered in the UK and have a resident director holding at least 51% shares.
This has been my main issue with eBay, those ****ers (excuse my french) put my money on hold in December last year, letting me sell as usual ( I think I actually sold more than I anticipated in that month) demanding a high street bank for payouts, after having hundreds very relevant of payouts, then after a month or so they took a step back and started to release my money in a 30 day span. Needless to say, I do not have money laying around to keep selling a full month |

If you could then you'd simply use the registered office address service that most Limited Company formation services offer.
Go on the main Amazon forums and check out the countless pakistani and India sellers who've tried this route, it doesn't work. In the unlikely event it did work you are certainly committing fraud which wont go down well with banks and Companies House and, on the assumption they're not going to come clean with HMRC and declare themselves as NETP's and voluntarily register for mandatory VAT, then tax evasion too.
That all said, you can be on overseas national and legitimately create a Limited Company and trade on all the selling platforms, just don't think lying to the relevant authorities and financial bodies etc is plain sailing.
