Stealth eBay Account dead because of MP?

[Yesgeneral]

I've chated with Ebay UK representatives for more than 3 hours and figured out:
1, any kind of virtual Bank Account is unacceptable...,a valid checking account is necessary for eBay MP.
2, the name of bank account must be same with the eBay account.
3, one bank account can't be used 2 or more eBay accounts.

So this is the end of stealth eBay account?

I didn't have to deal with much Asian competition. However, one of the benefits to mp is that a lot of my competition have disappeared, so I've been able to raise my prices 20% .

some virtual accounts are still working. I presume because ebay analyze which virtual account providers are abused and restrict those types of accounts later.

however , the tendency goes towards prohibition of all such accounts that are available to non residents. I am especially sure they will eventually ban "Wise" as this is now the abused virtual account provider #1 in the ebay world

So i totally disagree saying that all virtual banks are not usable with MP. There are many ways to play around.

no , it is not all banks , especially in the EU there are various services that can be used. The situation with the UK looks rather grim as almost all available accounts are for residents only , the exception is only Wise , Monzo and Revolut

and especially Wise is dangerous because it has a very weak verification with lots of abused stealth accounts there

I have all of those you mentioned that is why it's not that hard to play around the UK MP verification. I like it actually than paypal.

that is as long as not all providers offering services to non-residents have been blacklisted

apart from verification the new system is almost like paypal. they also tend to suspend randomly , suspensions when volume shoots up , suspensions for no obvious reason at all - all this has been running on paypal for years and will now continue on MP

Thanks for your replying! Do you mean some virtual bank accounts still work?
Did your account receive a message from eBay like this -

yes , some virtual banks still work. especially "Wise" and smaller financial companies from the EU like Bunq

however , it is not clear how long this will continue as the trend is moving towards real banks rather than virtual accounts issued to non-residents and real banks from the UK and the US do not take non-residents
