Ebay managed Payment - using real details
 

Right, just thought i'd keep you guys updated in terms of how i am going about ebay managed payment.

After hours and hours of reading, stress on top of stress. Seeing advice given by fellow members. It seems that as of today, there isn't really any real way of getting round the managed payment issues apart from using real details.

My original legit account was banned 8 years ago due to poor performance, not much income from just my website alone at the time until I bought the stealth guide, who knew after years of successful trading we are now being hit by this managed payment bullsh!t. Anyway, my legit ebay account got reinstated after calling ebay customer service. My original legit account is up and running but had not spent enough time on it to be honest to make some real income.

Having concluded that there isn't really any way round it, I have gone ahead and converted my stealth account to real info, hoping for the best really, fingers crossed!!!!!!

What i have done so far:

-Updated full name on account to real info
-Updated dob to real info

takes ebay up to 48 hours to validate

At this stage, it is still kind of trial and error, but looks to be the best option despite a lot have failed trying to provide doctored documents. Will keep this thread posted.

p.s. Bank account is business account

Re: Ebay managed Payment - using real details
 

Update. despite updating DOB and name to matching drivers license. Ebay still can not verify my identity.

What I will do now is upload a photo ID. Any advice from you guys before submitting passport copy / drivers license?

Which one is best?

Re: Ebay managed Payment - using real details
 

Did you connect ebay to your bank account with trustily or did you manually enter your bank details ?

And are you on the electoral roll at the address you are providing them with ?

Do you have a credit card and a credit rating ?

Re: Ebay managed Payment - using real details
 

I manually entered the bank details as can't seem to get the trustily to work.

I am NOT electoral enrolled at the address provided to them on the "Verify your account details" page.

I do have credit card, and credit rating, but that is my actual home address (the address provided to them now is my PO box address but named "office 3")

Do I need to provide my home address which all my cards are currently registered to?

Re: Ebay managed Payment - using real details
 

Update:

-updated address on "Verify your account details" page
-submitted bank details once again despite everything was correct..

lets see

Re: Ebay managed Payment - using real details
 

Thanks for sharing this and please keep us updated throughout, most of us are in the same boat as yourself and your post is a welcome contribution. Cheers

Re: Ebay managed Payment - using real details
 

I suspect that is the reason why your account could potentially be in trouble.

There is a section that says

Item Dispatched From Address / Return Address and so on in the account settings, that's where you could put your PO BOX. Not in the adyen registration portal. I would use your home address for instant verification where you are electoral rolled.

Do that and come back and update us.

Re: Ebay managed Payment - using real details
 

I was banned about 9 1/2 years ago, its the reason I went stealth, until MP put an end to it, So I will also try to sign up again with my details from 9.5 years ago. Hopefully ebay will allow me back. So Im also very interested to see how it goes for you over the next few days. I plan to sign up with real details next week. I will be watching this thread, and thanks for creating it.

Not sure if its the same as it use to be, where ebay would ban you 3-6 months from the time you signed up with similar details of another banned account, or is it instant now? where as you know your cooked right away the moment you sign up, or at the most within 24 hours.

Re: Ebay managed Payment - using real details
 

if they request ID and at the same time bank account could not be verified through trustly , probably because it is not supported by trustly , and at the same time PO is used instead of a real address is likely to lead to indefinite suspension later as far as I can tell

Re: Ebay managed Payment - using real details
 

You will need to provide your real home address, which shows on the electoral roll or credit card company. Ebay won't accept PO box "office 3" as the account registered address. It Can be accepted for dispatch from/return to address.

Re: Ebay managed Payment - using real details
 

I signed up again few weeks ago with my banned name and same address. it didn't ask me for dob at sign up. I can't remember if they ever did back in the day or whether its only asked when they pull you in for id. Which I have previously given them and its still same passport or dl if they ask again.
Right now its a buyers account, I am buying tittle tattle everyday essentials to get some feedback and hope to turn it into a seller account next week. I will keep it a personal account and peddle slowly. MightPreviously banned account was a business account, who knows might let me keep a personal account and no sign up or delayed for mp. As I will add my real details to my stealth establish stores by January 18 deadline.

Re: Ebay managed Payment - using real details
 

True, thats what new ebay sellers dont understand, after you sign up, you have to buy some things first, then start selling, even then, you have to take it slow at first. Gradually working your way up

Re: Ebay managed Payment - using real details
 

Note necessarily true, my stealth account was started with a personal account and within a month of browsing, converted to business. started selling small items, never bought 1 item from business account, no issues whatsoever.

Re: Ebay managed Payment - using real details
 

Thanks bud, all done now.

Re: Ebay managed Payment - using real details
 

Trustly dont support business bank accounts as far as I can tell. Hence have to manually input bank details

To be fair can't see how the input of po address can lead to a suspension, ebay did not clearly state what address they required.

Re: Ebay managed Payment - using real details
 

all depends on what sort of link, how much link there is, if one account is banned, and another account has 80% of the details matched, it would literally ban in a matter of days. In my opinion, if it takes such a long time (3-6 months) for ebay to ban account, it is likely to be links down the line, ie. ip address

Re: Ebay managed Payment - using real details
 

Done that now, identification now verified, still have issue with bank tho...

Re: Ebay managed Payment - using real details
 

Update:

it's been back and forth doing a lot of changes..

-Updated personal information to matching drivers license, dob etc.
Identification all passed - no issue whatsoever with this aspect.

-Only issue now is they are saying they are unable to verify my bank details despite name on bank and bank details are 100% matching. NO IDEA WHY
I will be speaking to ebay to see whats up.
Worst case, i will upload bank statement, nothing to hide now, it will simply be a original bank statement, thats it.

-good news is, despite they are unable to verify bank details, I have received the first payout! hooray

Re: Ebay managed Payment - using real details
 

Update:

Spoke to ebay, they require a bank statement in matching name and address.
Standard statement scanned and uploaded. Let's see what happens.. Fingers crossed.

Re: Ebay managed Payment - using real details
 

Use a personal bank first, once approved, then update it to the business bank account. You only need to verify your identity when first signing up, and using trustily will save you much headache and wasted time (which is what you're currently encountering).

I've done what I just advised you to do with no issues whatsoever, but I'm a USA resident so maybe things are different?

Re: Ebay managed Payment - using real details
 

Just to clarify

This is a real account not stealth right but they are still saying they can't verify your bank account ? So now you have submitted a statement ?

Re: Ebay managed Payment - using real details
 

I am sure what you suggested is right seeing so many with personal account with no issue. But couldn't be bothered, just went ahead with my business account so to speak

Re: Ebay managed Payment - using real details
 

Correct - this account in question is stealth converted to real details. And yes they still insisted they needed bank statements.

Statement now submitted and all is good.

Re: Ebay managed Payment - using real details
 

Nice to hear - never assume you are 100% free of issues though, just saying

Re: Ebay managed Payment - using real details
 

Yep, waiting and see

Re: Ebay managed Payment - using real details
 

Update:

Original Bank statement uploaded and received email from ebay saying that "You're all set"

Fingers cross, let's see how we get on in the coming months

Re: Ebay managed Payment - using real details
 

Cool so that's another one that's converted from stealth to real.

Let's just hope eBay let us continue to sell for the years to come.

Re: Ebay managed Payment - using real details
 

Let's hope so. Only Time will tell.

Re: Ebay managed Payment - using real details
 

are you saying that you have logged into your online banking through trustily with mismatching info and not had a problem?

Re: Ebay managed Payment - using real details
 

didn't you say that you signed up using real personal name not the name of a business and added a business bank account. Wouldn't the details of the bank be mismatched if it was a business bank account and not a personal one?

Re: Ebay managed Payment - using real details
 

have you noticed when you sign in through trustily that under account settings> payment options> bank account ending in **** then underneath it shows the bank account name. Do you have a different bank account name shown than the registration information for managed payments? this is how my acccount looks currently. It shows a business llc name for the bank account name with real legit personal details used to sign up for managed payments

Re: Ebay managed Payment - using real details
 

so you used trustily bank login with a bank account name that didnt exactly match the ebay account owner name and had payments deposited into tha`t bank account no problem?

Re: Ebay managed Payment - using real details
 

So what you have detailed in this whole thread is what I have done with eBay over the last couple months. I entered all real info and just sent in my real ID. I will update this thread on what happens so that we can find ways to stay on eBay

Re: Ebay managed Payment - using real details
 

IN the Uk, there are 2 types of business accounts. One for self employed, eg. sam smith trading as A1 coffee. the other ones are for ltd companies, ie. cooperative types, which only shows business name.

The majority of bank accounts on here are sole trader ones, inc mine.

Re: Ebay managed Payment - using real details
 

That's great, keep us posted. seems like the majority of people on here done it this way to get round MP

Re: Ebay managed Payment - using real details
 

I sent in my real ID to match the eBay details and then today I get this message from eBay:

We appreciate you submitting your government ID, but unfortunately, the name on your identity card does not match the PREVIOUS name on your eBay account. We will need the government ID for ****** *** or a detailed explanation for the name not matching.

To help remove the restriction on your account:

Send a clear image of your driver's license (front *AND* back) or other government issued ID
-- The submitted documents must be current, valid, the entire image, readable, and unaltered
-- The submitted documents must have an expiration date
-- Copies or Scans of ID’s will not be accepted
-- Temporary/Paper ID’s will not be accepted

>>Suggestion: For best results, you should use a cell phone to take a *PHOTO* image

Note: Please do NOT change the name on your account until this matter has been resolved.

Re: Ebay managed Payment - using real details
 

Your existing details on the ebay account - how long has it been since you last changed it?

Your name on ID is 100% matching the ones on your ebay account?

Re: Ebay managed Payment - using real details
 

Is there really no way around all of this? So all Stealth accounts come to an end?

All real in for has to be put in for both ebay/bank and that is the only way to sell and buy on ebay? wth

Re: Ebay managed Payment - using real details
 

No, just when it comes to be managed payments time, you need to give them the data they are asking for correctly the first time. You put in your own data when you're converting it over. This is a UK situation, and AFAIK the first reported that they asked for an ID. Even after changing the stealth details over. And i believe there are many people using their own details on multiple previously stealth accounts at once. But, i could be mistaken.

Re: Ebay managed Payment - using real details
 

Any updates on this? How are you getting on with it?
