Hello,
I have a German Stealth Ebay account and now I wanted to add my bank account which is a EU bank ( not German ) but Ebay doesnt accept it. I have tried also another bank, but same problem. Do you know what could be the problem?

does it show the message bank is not accepted?
if it shows that not bank account but the bank is not accepted then it is likely ebay have started adding limits to EU accounts where the bank country must match ebay registration country
actually such limits are already in place on paypal , I used to have a bulgarian account from leopay and it was banned on paypal for western european paypal accounts but it was allowed for bulgarian paypal accounts
that is why try it on bulgarian ebay , it will probably work

also keep in mind that EU sellers will be reported to tax authorities from this year on with all their funds so it is very well possible that ebay decided to allow local bank accounts only meaning bank account country = ebay registration country

If it does not allow foreign bank,it may be clearance problem

bank account numbers will be reported
clearance may indeed be a problem , Bulgaria is not a part of euro zone so maybe MP in euro zone would only accept bank accounts in euro zone

Also any transaction $10K or more,the bank will report to some Federal institution,but that has nothing to do with our income tax reporting.
Ayden could handle Bulgarian bank or any bank if it is willing to pay,but it wont.
I recall Paypal has no way of sending your fund to a Vietnamese bank except by wiretransfer and it would charge you for the fee.It may have changed I dont know.
Paypal handles Eastern European banks via VISA EUROPE and has to pay a fee to Visa Europe.

It has its own currency LEV and not Euro,so clearance could be an issue.
Try a German bank

Good to know.

In US,neither Fed or state could .
care less which bank you use to collect your e commerce proceeds,as long as you remit sales tax you collected(state) and report your income on the Fed tax return.
These days Ebay does it for us,the only time we have to is when we sell outside any sales venue which collect the sales tax for the seller,like in a garage sale or having your own stall in an antique mall .
The only time a state wants to see your bank account is when you are audited,they are looking for cash sales,that you sold something for cash and not collect sales tax.
