Ebay requested me for card info to be added to start selling

mrowcp · #1 06-21-2018

Is this new or I miss something? Here was my steps:

1) open new ebay account (US and I'm from EU)
2) open new paypal account
3) add bank account in pp
4) confirmed paypal bank info with the code that they have sent me.
5) link paypal to my ebay account.

6) Add my 1st item

And at the end, when I confirm listing, ebay redirect me to page where I must add tax payment method. I choose paypal, a new window (paypal login) is opened with empty fields for credit card info. If I click cancel, it's transfering me back to the ebay tax method page.

So I'm unable to list a new item without filling cc fields.

I've noticed this recently too, looks like a new change.

That's not sounds good at all...
Is it OK if I add payoneer card or vcc from UK? My bank acc is from another EU country.

I have had this also recently. Got a verified PayPal account using u account waited a couple of days then opened new ebay àccount and went to list à book, when I click list item it could not load the page. Went to the preferences to link PayPal account and it normally takes you to the eBay billing agreement where you would just confirm, however it now seems that eBay want you to add a card?

Here is some screenshots:

1) When I click Submit new item for selling:

2) Continue to paypal button:

3) Paypal account settings in ebay

4) If I try to add paypal as pay billing options from ebay menu:

Happened to me too. They need a backup payment method in case your PP balance is not enough

JOHNKA41 · #7 06-22-2018

If eBay need a back up payment method why would they direct you via PayPal and not just accept and hold the card details themselves? Also when you add the card details via PayPal
nothing happens you cannot move forward with it and are unable to list.

Is it Ok if I add different card holder name? For examp:

Paypal: John D
Ebay: John D

Paypal credit card: Alex M

Not sure about the name, but I would assume the address of the card would have to match the stealth account a address. I tried with a Morrisions gift card which worked fine on the Paypal side but for Ebay now there seems to be no way to get round it? At one point they wanted to charge £1 to the card to verify it, but you cannot accept funds into a Morrisons gift card. I will look at using a VCC that allows payments to be made and see if that helps.

Is anyone else getting this when opening new Ebay accounts or might it just be a procedural thing for not opening PayPal or Ebay accounts in a set manor?

Is this happening to UK accounts or accounts from the US?

mrowcp · #11 06-24-2018

US registration, but I checked both sites and requirements are the same.

Any idea how to get around it?

Will a VCC Entropay Card be ok to use?

JOHNKA41 · #14 06-24-2018

So the question is can you use a VCC registered with your stealth details? and will it be subject to AVS? and will the VCC ned to be one that can accept funds for verification?

Could an Entropay card be used for this?

JOHNKA41 · #16 06-24-2018

I'm not sure? It depends if eBay send funds to the account to verify it and can they then see the name and address on the àccount? I've used my own personal entropay account to pay eBay fees in the past for multiple stealth accounts in the past without any issues but not sure how things work if they send funds to your entropay account?

Yes I see but surely it's only the card details that they can see?

Best to keep ANY info in the same name as eb/pp

The card gets added to PayPal, so entropay is no good.

Blimey! This sounds like a massive stumbling block. Any ideas how to get around it?

Well, the simplest option is to add a card to PayPal.

Or choose another option for the automatic payment method. You will still need a card for this to though, one that works for ebay.

So what card would you recommend as surely it can't have any non-stealth info on it?
