How to successfully get through MP bank verification
 

For anybody signing up to MP do not let them into your bank account by giving your internet banking passwords and letting them go in. Choose that your bank account is not listed and put the details in. They will probably ask you to verify it by them sending 2 small amounts, this works.

Unless it is a legitimate account I know from experience that my USA bank and perhaps others, give them the account openers name that is associated with internet banking. They may start paying you initially if you let them into your internet banking, but they will stop paying the funds the funds, if this happens, open another account and proceed as above and once verified by the 2 small amounts deposited, the funds will flow out into it.

The bank verification is done by a 3rd party. Why do you think eBay gets the account owners name from it? People here used Paypal's instant verify for years and it's done by the same 3rd party.

It’s only recently that I saw the internet bank owners name in eBay for backup payment which was my wife’s, they have never done that info before, luckily for me it was my legitimate account.

so are you saying that if you manually enter the information for banking, it works for mismatch names?

Yes it works for mismatched names, in the USA I know, the UK I can not guarantee

I got the MP email today asking to sign up by the end of December, my eBay is all legit info, though my bank account doesn't have the same name on eBay, should I do the same thing when I set up the MP ? Verify with 2 small charges? would they accept Mismatched names?

Re: How to successfully get through MP bank verification
 

Mismatched back account names isn't a problem if you do the two deposit verification.

Re: How to successfully get through MP bank verification
 

How are you setting up MP then if you are using stealth info? I didn’t think you could setup MP using anything other than real info.

appreciate the response,

thank you

Re: How to successfully get through MP bank verification
 

after the two deposit verification, do they ask for a bank statement?

thank you for your time

Re: How to successfully get through MP bank verification
 

I've been in MP since October, they haven't asked me for anything.

Re: How to successfully get through MP bank verification
 

Is your account personal or business?

Re: How to successfully get through MP bank verification
 

High sale amount or no?

Re: How to successfully get through MP bank verification
 

I moved into managed payments on my stealth account about 2 weeks ago. I tried doing routing and account # instead of instant verification via login, and eBay rejected the account, saying they could not "verify" it. So I did it again using bank login, and they accepted the account. They sent me my first 2 payouts last week, but then yesterday I got an email that said this: "Your payouts have been temporarily placed on hold while we review some details. Please allow up to 5 days for this review to take place. You'll be notified if we need more information."

Oh, I'm SURE you'll "need more information." lol.

Re: How to successfully get through MP bank verification
 

BTW, the stealth account name does NOT match my bank account name. But I have no idea if eBay can see my bank account name or not.

Re: How to successfully get through MP bank verification
 

They can't see your true bank account name unless you provide it or they take funds from the account (a receipt is generated showing true name)

Re: How to successfully get through MP bank verification
 

Managed payments can see the name of the person who opened the internet banking portal when you let them in to verify the bank account using the log in and password.

It does not take a brain surgeon or rocket scientist to work out that when you log into your bank account on the dashboard page it says Welcome John Smith or however the name is. The bank web portal does not know who is accessing it and if the details are correct it will give the welcome message and name which gets noted by MP.

I think a lot of people here do not understand the depths that eBay can go to protect themselves.

Re: How to successfully get through MP bank verification
 

If that's case then even if at moment mismatch names could work but in long run it will be trouble, won't it?

Re: How to successfully get through MP bank verification
 

If what you're saying is true, then stealth is OVER. But then again, if what you're saying is true, stealth should have NEVER worked. I mean isn't this forum made up of people who are running stealth eBay/PP accounts? That means all of them are linking to banks with name mismatches? So how can you say for sure that this is true?

Re: How to successfully get through MP bank verification
 

So the best way is just not to use the log-in portal approach?

Re: How to successfully get through MP bank verification
 

UPDATE... After only 4 days, eBay released the hold and resumed payouts. All is well.
