Hello Everyone,
I entered a chat on Ebay customer support . I asked them what document they will need to aprove a merchant account. The guy really had no clue. Then he said go to this link ( trust and saftey team ) and ask them your question they will be able to tell you what documents.
So then the links said BLOCKED INVALID EMAIL ADDRESS. sO i THOUGHT THAT WAS WIERD. I went ahead and asked my question....blah ...blah..and sent it
Same Day I sent The documents to ebay for a merchant account.
Then I get an Email RE: BLOCKED INVALID EMAIL ADDRESS
