Change business name and owner's name to different one

[heidoncs]

I got a Sole trader ebay account.

The business and owner's name & address are the same.

Can I change the business name and address to a different one and keep the owner's name & address as before (unchanged)?

Will it cause any problems? Will I get a payment hold or MP verification fail?

Please help!!

Yes you can change them.

Unless you're changing your bank account too and will be updating that as well then I doubt it will be an issue.

But this is ebay, so who really knows??

Thanks.

I will not change the bank account. The bank detail is the same as own's details (personal info). But the business name and address will be changed to a different one (virtual trading name & virtual office address). The problem is that when I click EDIT business name option, there is an ebay notice: "Please make sure your details are accurate. If we're unable to verify the updates you make, your payouts may be held.".

If you can verify the updates, which I'm assuming you can, then it shouldn't be a problem.

I guess you're going to find out one way or the other if you're not happy leaving the account as it is.

business name and address on sole trader accounts do not matter , what matters is registered personal name and personal address

If you move address and you change your address will you need to submit proof of address or doesn’t it matter.

I can only verify the owner's detail. The business name and its address cannot.

It would be a good news.

The business name and address will be changed to a different one (virtual trading name & virtual office address).

The problem is that when I click EDIT business name option, there is an ebay notice: "Please make sure your details are accurate. If we're unable to verify the updates you make, your payouts may be held.".

Ebay have already told you it could be. Assume it will, any speculation on here is just that.

Prepare for what you know, not what you want to hear on this forum.

Ebay has told you that it could be, as Hank clarified for you
