can you avoid wasting a bank account

[benny]

is there anyway to open eb seller account and see how many items you can sell to make sure its not a 0/0 before you add your bank account to your pp account to save wasting a bank account ?

maybe by adding a vcc to eb for fee's ?
i know you have to add your pp account but would it make a problem if you have'nt yet added the bank (but have done everything else, phone, vcc, etc)

hope all that makes sense,

Explain what you mean - are you saying you are getting 0/0 on UK eBay accounts? If so, you are doing something very wrong. 0/0 has been an issue for US users but no problems have been reported for UK.

Is this for a UK EB?

sorry no i have not had it, but looking ahead in case it happened here (uk) i was just wondering if it was possible, that way we could all save adding the bank until we knew all was well, someone may have found a way or tried it,

what i have had is a brand new stealth account package (bought here) which was all done correctly and was fine until the first item sold and as soon as the payment hit pp (3.99) pp was limited and asked to confirm details etc,
but thats a different matter of course, and the same would apply you could check its ok before wasting a bank account

You can sell on EB without having a bank account attached to PP.

whats the negatives of doing this?

[Imakemoney]

You are MUCH more likely to get your account hit with an MC999 doing this.

Not having a verified PP for the eB selling account is not really recommended in general though (forum approach)

[JamesNorth101]

Like I said, while it is possible, I do need to add that it is really far from ideal. An account that has not been verified it a very vulnerable account

[RetroRedneck]

But don't the majority of account sellers on Aspkin only verify the CC? I thought it was standard not to add a bank account?

[JamesNorth101]

In the US a VBA can be used to verify an account, but in the UK a bank account is required.

A VCC can then be used to confirm the PayPal's address and used as a funding source

You do not get your funds easily.

Your account is more readily flagged by ebay.

You will be forced into making even more threads on here about your woes.


All big negatives.

Just to clairfy, did you sell after changing IPs or anything?

Confirm this was a soft hold by paypal.

Standard is to add a bank account. I believe the majority of account sellers will sell the combo with a verified PP

[ebay*merchant]

What if you sell with a verified PP but one that no longer has a bank account attached? Does this reduce the risk or does it not make a difference?

[JamesNorth101]

What would be the purpose in that?

You would still not be able to get funds out and the bank account could not be attached to another PayPal

nothing at all was changed, brand new ip supplied with package (i had to pay for setup and monthly charge) and same one as used to set it all up, brand new bank account, had browsing history, aged for 4 weeks, all verified etc etc,
but as said as soon as the 3.99 hit pp the account for the first item that sold it was limited, not able to withdraw etc etc, until i sent in docs to prove the details on the account,
the cost of the package was money i didnt like to loose but whats done is done and i have now returned to building my own stealth accounts,

not sure what order they do the paypal verification but doubt they add a bank account to each acc they sell!!!.....assuming they have a method of docs verification that does it and lifts limits at same time....

Not possible.

An account must be verified before docs can be submitted.

Bank account is needed to verify a PayPal UK.

[isitworththestress]

Now there is a thought, what if the account is made in another country then due to the person supposedly moving becomes a UK account?

Would it have to start from scratch with verification, as if it were a new UK account?

My thoughts, too. Re UK sellers; it would be inconceivable that they would go to the trouble of attaching a bank account - I mean once it's attached you can't reuse it?
