Random questions about MP rules..

[icecolder]

As testing the system with MP is quite "resource demanding", there are some random questions about changes.

1. Some say bank country and registration country must be the same. And virtual banks like monese or revolut can not be used. But can not find info can virtual banks be used if their issued iban is same country as ebay registration country? For example monese gives Belgium iban. So can it be used on belgium ebay or it can not be used at all because it is virtual bank?
(Talking about registration during the last few days only!!)

2. Name on bank account must mach eb registered name, right? But they can not see your birthday from bank account, are they?..
Lets say name is "Jack Jonson". Can this person have like unlimited amount accounts under the same name but under different birthday and on all the rest of the info different?

3. Would the turning places of name and surname couse the problems with payouts? Lets say bank account would say "Jack Jonson", but ebay registered on "Jonson Jack". Would it work?

4. So is the Payoneer still an option for MP in some countries these days? Can new account be set up for it?

5. How long are now fund holds for new accounts? Some say its 21 day, some say 30, while others talking about 3 months... So how long it is now??

you're asking a bunch of hypothical questions that many people don't have an answer to and even if we did it's best not to post it publicly to where ebay can see and make changes.

(1) virtual accounts are always more risky. some instant bans. most get request for docs. some/few survive
(2) birthday is used to match to public data, maybe to bank also. you are allowed to have multiple accounts. whether they all get banned when one is banned is the risk
(3) mixing the names would create a mismatch. jack johnson and johnson jack is the same is abe lincon and jack johnson
(4) see (1) with virtual accounts
(5) funds not on hold on new accounts

If a service like Monese who offers "bank accounts" in multiple countries has been black listed by UK MP it doesn't guarantee that they'd also be blacklisted in a EU country as they'd have different codes. UK IBAN's will start with GB and Belgium IBAN's will start with BE... If there's no info on the board then the only way for you to find out is to jump in the fire and be your own lab rat.
