Have you done anything regarding MP on your accounts?

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

Does anyone know if the managed payments registration required proof of id aswell as bank statement and eBay name to match
Thanks

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

I have applied with my ltd company today and uploaded my buisness bank account which matches my name amd didferent address and just put different dob as my real name dob was banned before , 30min later i got an email “ we couldnt verify you please upload your ID” i dont know what to do now should i put my real dob and take a chance as i am the only director of the company and have registered company and different address to the one which was banned before , my concerned is if i put the same name which i already have along with the same dob which i did not before would i be linked than , really worried now as there is red warning everytime i login to upload the id , just confuse if i should get creative with dob or just go and upload the my real id

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

Waqas give your real name and DOB, no point playing games with ebay now.

I am also banned on ebay (about 4 years ago now). But I transitioned my stealth account to managed payments using my real details. They do a soft 'credit' check which showed up on experian.

That's why they didn't request photo ID from me and all seems OK so far, apparenty I am ready for MP at the end of July.

And they haven't banned me either ... yet. Hopefully they won't as they can see I have been performing fine for nearly 2 years.

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

It's what I am planning to do as well.

Did you use a hooky adress and just genuine name and DOB?

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

Well the reason I joined this forum is because I was banned from ebay not paypal.

So the address provided to ebay after transitioning my account is now my REAL address, the address that was banned around 4 years ago.

So far so good. But I am also worried later this year I may suddenly get a suspension email but I would like to think if that were to happen it would have happened already especially as they have ran a soft credit check on me.

Reading that thread tells me ebay are getting desperate. They were expecting a high volume of people to sign up but they haven't.

Lots of big sellers with thousands of feedback are claiming they can't wait to close up shop if ebay force them on to managed payments.

What that tells me is ebay will need every previously banned seller that has been selling under stealth, performing well, adhering to their policies to STAY on the platform. So even if they see you are banned they will just turn a blind eye and let us carry on ...

Or is that wishful thinking on my part lol ?

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

I think its wishful thinking regarding the linking, the eBay BOTS will just sweep and destroy. I did go back in and change my banned account address and name details to random ones as probably a futile but additional precaution. Made me feel a bit better anyway lol

Sadly, I have to do the same on one of my accounts, so I am will be at similar mercy as yourself.

I think the team doing the credit checks etc are using the Ayden terminal function, so won't neccesarily be looking at the details given specifically, just the response from the Adyen system.

We can only hope really.

Did you change your name and address in the ebay account settings first or did you just put them into the MP settings, and it changed them for you, like the American way?

But f**k me, if I hear another moan about micropayments on the ebay forums. I cant believe people actually bother selling stuff with such low profit margins.

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

It definitely is, but I was referring to the moaners on ebay forums..

Some of those guys look to make 50p a sale....spend all day packing letters for make £30.

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

that sounds superb!

I would love to have something like that on the go.

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

I signed up for managed payment last week.. yesterday got email saying ‘We can't verify the info you provided, please review’. Does the address provide on eBay have to be same as ur bank?

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

No, the ebay account still has my accountants address. But during the MP registration I gave them my real (previously banned) address as visible on my bank statement and that's the address of the director (me).

I'm confident one way or another I will be able to salvage atleast 1 account. But unfortunately I need at least 4 accounts just because of the different items I sell. I can't push everything through one account.

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

Thanks for this, good to know.

So change names to match, leave address as stealth, and then submit genuine details through the MP portal.

This is the route I am taking.

I have to utilise friends for my other three accounts, so I am paying out a little profits to 'rent' their bank accounts so to speak.

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

What do you think will happen to the multiple stealth accounts concept

With this Managed payment system coming in do you guys reckon will be able to have 10 eBay accounts or not

Also let’s look for alternatives of eBay

Any other alternatives

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

Alternatively, what happens should we transition those other stealths to our real details as well rather than getting friends & family involved ...

All accounts would be linked BUT ebay are OK with one person having multiple accounts.

It's unknown territory but a risk I will be taking with atleast 1 other account.

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

Its definitely an alternative option, although I feel it does raise the risk of having a complete shut down of all accounts if one is linked to the original banned one.

Potentially this is a good option if using a person who has not been banned before, so I might try two accounts to one person to lower number of others involved.

The thing with eBays 'multiple accounts' thing is vague. On one hand they say, yes its fine as long as you don't sell the same items, on the other hand they allow millions of companies to sell all the same items on multiple accounts, without even basic differences like the Chinese do (different pictures etc), so I would always be nervous about that.

Plus this may then also affect the VAT threshold, where eBay block you until you apply for VAT. This is one of the reasons I run multiples, even though I did find a way around the VAT blocking last year, but was a troublesome time for a few weeks.

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

Not entirely the whole reason why they made need alternative accounts, but I do agree, this will stop the fast buck turn and burn sellers, which can often lose genuine sales to non hooky sellers, in my market , this is a big thing.
