Creating Ebay accounts without a PAYPAL account is going to be a pain in the azz. I created 2 new accounts, and faxed in my merchant account statements. I got an email back from Ebay that they can't confirm it (how can they confirm it anyways? It's not like my merchant account will disclose my private details to them).
So, they are asking yet again, for the merchant account statement which I ALREADY provided.
I think it's just a lame excuse to make sellers use Paypal.
Here is the exact email I received:
Dear XXX
Thank you for submitting your merchant processing statement to eBay.
I have completed our review, but was unable to confirm the statement
provided. To list items on eBay, please provide the following:
- a valid copy of your most recent merchant processing statement. Please
note that it doesn't need to have any transactions, we simply need to
see a complete, recent statement.
Fax this information to (866) 309-6493.
While we confirm your merchant credit card statement, you can continue
listing items on eBay with PayPal as the payment method. More
information about Selecting Payment Methods You'll Accept can be found
at the following link:

We appreciate you taking the time to help keep eBay a safe and fun place
to trade.
Sincerely,
