Can I register as a seller without a bank account?

Can I register as an international seller without a bank account but only a credit card?

[GrannyT]

Yes I believe so but you will be unverified and will not be able to sell much before having to add a bank account

[makaveliagain]

Even as a US seller. One of my friends who does stealth registered as a seller about two years back without adding a bank account. He did verify the CC on PayPal. He had about $900 in sales then got a limitation from PayPal saying he needed to add a bank account. He was one of those drive to the university to use public pcs once a week sellers. Got behind and they finally indefinitely suspended the PayPal. It is probably harder to do that now because of the initial eBay selling limits. But still if you continue to sell without adding a bank account it will catch up with you at some point.

Ok I must add a bank account
I am in Israel, so do I need to open a legit bank account or can I just use a VBA? How do I know if eBay banned a specific VBA service?

[SUVE]

You NEED a legitimate bank account.

If you are registered as israel seller I guess you don't need VBA. VCC is okay. or maybe AVS is better choice.

Still not able to listen

How would you expect to get your FUNDS from selling your 100 items?

[theseller]

TowelKing told me I can have funds sent to my prepaid card

[theseller]

By the way can I start listing right away after I register or do I need to wait for while?

[GreenBean]

Do whatever you want.

Ruin another account.

78 posts and you have listened to

NOTHING.

Be that failure on your own head.

[theseller]

GreenBean you asked me to post what I have done so far but sorry I have no time to tell the full story, I'd rather write a book about it

In short this is what has happened:

- 1 account suspended
- 1 account indefinitely restricted from selling

The solution - go stealth

This is what I have done:

- I made a organized spreadsheet in Excel with the full information on each of the two suspended accounts
- Then added a new column for the new stealth account I am going to open

I already have a:

- New PC user
- New IP
- New account details for eBay and Paypal (name, address, new gmail, user ID, password, DOB)
- New prepaid credit card
- New phone number (new SIM card)

Nothing can link to my suspended accounts anymore unless an eBay Trust & Safety employee comes on here and finds out himself

Like you said I need a legit bank account - I already have one but it is the same bank # I used with my suspended account. Can I just get a VBA and then forward the money to my real bank account?

What is my plan: I don't know, going to wait a couple of days and then list 10 items?

[theseller]

I registered the account last night
Do I need to wait a couple of days before listing or can I list right away?

[GreenBean]

Go check the properties of a VBA.

See how using them will tie into your proposed methods.

They really do not. Strike 1.

Paypal verified & confirmed No? Strike 2

Listing immediately, with no feedback? Listing immediately with the outlined method....

if you gamble maybe..

[theseller]

I haven't listed anything so far just waiting for instructions from you
TowelKing PMed me:

"That's not true - you don't need a bank account with paypal. That's only true for USA accounts that must have a bank account in order to verify them."

So if I registered a Israeli account on eBay.com do I need a verified bank account for a verified seller account or not?

[GrannyT]

Yes

[TowelKing]

Ok, the seller - I have made over 20 stealth accounts, I actively work on 5 of them.

Whatever I am telling you is 100% CORRECT and you would prefer listening to me on some topics than to other forum members since I am from Israel too.

YOU DO NOT NEED A BANK ACCOUNT FOR A ISRAELI PAYPAL!!!

PayPal accounts in Israel become verified just by adding a credit card and verifying it, you can also withdraw money to credit cards so a bank account is COMPLETELY USELESS.

Also, a VBA with a Israeli paypal account is useless too - what are you gonna do with it?
