Although it does not seem that the ID has been approved, I was immediately able to list again, and I haven't heard anything since.

My goal is basically to delay moving to managed payments as long as possible since I don't trust eBay that way. Back when eBay owned PayPal, the abuses were rife. I'll let everyone know how the process goes from here.

Bank account number and sort code match the account I gave to ebay earlier on in the process. I changed the name on the statement to match my stealth name. Even though ebay did not mention having the address on the bank statement, I changed that to match too.

Excuse me but what is going to happen when Ebay will send you a tax form when tax season comes? It's going to be on a stealth name so you won't be able to pay those taxes will you just ignore it? But if yes that can cause an investigation on the end of IRS or how it's called in UK and obviously they will find out whose bank account it really is so potentially the is a dangerous situation waiting upfront.
Please don't get me wrong I'm just trying to figure out what to do with my stealth accounts when it's time to register them with MP.
Thanks.

In the UK so don't have EB sending us any tax forms. We do have a VAT threshold and if we go over that we need to supply them a VAT number. Solution is not to go over that on our stealth accounts. Of course there are ways to combine all your accounts for tax purposes, register for VAT and declare income, etc. This is the safest way to do things. I don't want the HMRC knocking on my door!

As long as we declare our income to the HMRC and pay our taxes owed to them they are just fine and leave you alone.

I know of at least one guy who has used such 'creativity' to pass the necessary verification to get approved on MP. He has done so with 11 accts so far.

Just wanted to follow up and ask you if your creative ID worked?

My date to enroll is 10/15/20.

It looks like they are doing further checks into the details supplied and if it doesn't check out good then it's goodbye for good.

Guys, what happened to the " MP EXODUS " topic that was in the Managed Payments thread ? It was here until last night, plenty of replys and over 1K views,

If there is a name mismatch and funds are being sent to your real bank account with creative details, will that cause problems with USA bank institutions?

When issuing refunds, I believe the name will appear every time a customer requests a refund which may cause problems in the system if it keeps appearing as a name mismatch.

Anyone that's already enrolled in MP and have mismatching details having any problems with this?

are you saying the customer sees the real name of the bank account during a return or ebay itself? I would think that a deposit from ebay from a sale would show the same info to ebay as a return would from ebay.

Also, with MB, issuing refunds first comes from your rolling balance. As long as you keep sales going, you shouldn't have to worry about eBay tapping into your bank details.
