new account.
 

Created a new ebay mp account and just now listed my first item. I entered the last 4 of the ssn birth date etc. quick question. I haven't added a bank yet but will the money sit in the mp account until I add a bank? also will ebay take the fees out automatically or will I have to pay when I add a bank account?

BAM SUSPENDED! guess i'll have to wait till tomorrow to speak with an agent...

Re: new account.
 

Adding a bank before listing is important. It's another step in the verification process that helps build account strength. I don't think it was the only reason your account was suspended though. Make sure all of your account details are real. They must know who you are and where you are if you're going to be selling on Ebay's platform.

OP, might be worth listing steps for account creation analysis

Probably the most commonly counterfeited and regulated/protected item you could have chosen. A literal death sentence for any newish acct without a sales history.

I even had that specific item not to sell in my guidelines when I used to sell accts..

The first item listed MUST be a low risk item (used books, used unbranded clothes, used household items). Do not list something that is known to be counterfeited or anything in risky categories. IE: Phone, Electronics, DVD’s, Funko, Pokemon etc. Be mindful of key words in your title also.

I second TGMT squared comments...

I will keep that in mind but quick question. Why add a bank if account isn't established? IF the account gets banned won't that mean I can't use that bank anymore on ebay?
