open ebay business question
 

hello can anyone share steps on how can I open an ebay business account without adding bank information to it
or it isn't possible

Re: open ebay business question
 

It's not possible. Without a bank account there is no way for you to get payouts. Especially with that USA flag you're flying. :confused:

Re: open ebay business question
 

sorry meant to say , I don't have to list an item when I open the business account right away correct?? I know when you open a personal account you have to list right away to create the sellers account

Re: open ebay business question
 

I wouldn't be able to tell you. It's been a long time since I've used a new account.


Maybe someone else can give you a better answer but I don't think they'll let you sell without adding a bank account. Because if they did, how would they get their money back if you scammed someone?

Re: open ebay business question
 

Idk. I'm a seller. Anytime they've needed money that I owe, they use my payout source.. which is my bank account.

Re: open ebay business question
 

You don't have to list right away in either scenario...

Re: open ebay business question
 

if I opened an ebay business account under sole properitor and its an LLC business will that cause the account to be get an mc999 suspension ??

Difficult to predict 100%...

Re: open ebay business question
 

It is virtually impossible to open and properly use an eBay business account without providing any banking information.

Re: open ebay business question
 

US Ebay business does NOT require you to add bank account, you can skip this step. But if you want to get paid then you will need to add bank account later.

deniz718, what are you aiming on selling?

Re: open ebay business question
 

Didn't Ebay at one time come up with an idea that we should keep our sales proceeds in our ebay account so we can spend it on Ebay?

Re: open ebay business question
 

Vaguely remember that

Re: open ebay business question
 

Yes but to activate this requires more verification, bank / card statements, etc....

Re: open ebay business question
 

Spending the available balance is still an option for sellers. It helps to keep funds on the site, leading to another round of selling fees and promotion costs rather than a payout where eBay doesn't make any money.


Still though, I haven't been able to run an account (since managed payments rolled out) with no bank account attached. Nor would I try. It was a priceless workaround in the days of Paypal payouts but at this point, I feel like eBay would feel you attempting to manipulate a loophole, from over a mile away. :violin:

Re: open ebay business question
 

Back then,Paypal would even send you a money order for a fee,then it turns into a check instead.
Some folks like to leave their money in their Paypal account,get a Paypal debit card and use it as a credit card,Paypal gives you 1% cash rebate.
It wont work at Walmart,you know how penny pinching WMT is,it knows it is a debit card !

Thread is about ebay agent...:focus: - the past was nice, but have to let it go hah

Re: open ebay business question
 

Can't really say that I blame agent for going off on tangents since there is really nothing to discuss in this thread. I wasn't a seller in the time of e-commerce checks and money orders floating around.. but whatever. Sure, yeah, that happened at one point.


It's a dead horse we are kicking around here.

Re: open ebay business question
 

Ebay is now an old mother looking for growth,getting rid of Paypal and using MP payment,may just boost a few pennies per share.
