Changing stealth info to real?

[flotje95]

Hi all,

My old eBay account was banned in 2020 (no MP) because I shipped my items too late. I know I was wrong, I have learned my lesson. it was permanent, so I quit for a while.

In August 2021 I managed to open a new account (private, no business) with stealth name, new address (I moved) and new bank account with MP. All verified by eBay, did not have any problems. I have about 5K sales each month for a year now

But since the account name on eBay does not match my name on my bank account, my bank is know asking questions after a year and want me to stop receiving payments that are not in my name.

I wonder what I should do here. I have a company registered in NL. Should I change my eBay private account to a business account? Or can I use my real name again in eBay, as I read some comments that it worked for some people after they introduced Managed Payments.

Hope someone can help. Thnx!

Don't touch the eb account and risk issues - speak to your bank; attempt to upgrade the account to a business one and come up with an explanation.

If the bank is not budging then get a different bank with new bank account and pop that on eb - one option

Quote vs what a bot does can be quite....in contradiction to each other...

You are entitled to create a new seller account if you haven't been suspended on another.

You could also convert your existing one into a business.

I guess its your call on how your want to play it and ho legitimate you want your operations to be.
