What does it mean linking your accounts via bank sign-on?

They send you to a third party company, that then prompts you to login using your online banking details with which ever bank you’re with ( for example NatWest or HSBC etc). After you do that you then have to agree to all the terms conditions and part of those terms conditions are that eBay will be up to see all of your account activity across all of your bank account registered with that particular bank

The other option of bank statement might be a light in the tunnel for us if we can put the creative sides of our brain in use :D

Since the split from Paypal it could be argued that they are not as efficient as the rest of the market as they rely on a 3rd party payment processor

When Etsy, a relative upstart compared to Ebay, dropped Paypal they showed the way to increase the control they had over their marketplace and increase their profits

I do not believe stealthers even appeared in the discussions. Much as we may like to big up our own importancs we are collectively little more than a pimple to be scratched as far as Ebay is concerned

There is also the matter of security

The type of operation that required lots of Ebay accounts that were getting burned or were dealing 'unauthorised' lookee lickie items and suspect digital downloads will now be a thing of the past

It may well be that the market in stealth acvounts will also disappear. There is no real market in Amazon or Etsy accounts

That is not to say that Ebay stealth will disappear, there will always be a need and where there is a need a market place will develop

Whether or not it will be legal is a seperate matter but people will always finf a way

There are already several ways but their legality is suspect and the costs will be high

Ebay will live with the fact that some will get through their security screen

The real loosers will be the scammers with their 20+ accounts dealing what Ebay do not want

I think Ebay will be safer for Joe Public and MAY get some credibility back

I don’t think they’ll do the checks - it wouldn’t make sense, Amazon does it - eBay has always been the Wild West and if they do do such a thing they’ll be like a copy cat amazon rather than a eBay IMO could be wrong

It will be required in all cases IMO. Ebay will be using MP to 'clean up' the site - once again IMO

I agree, but if you state something as a 'fact' on this site , then someone who is always right (but often wrong) with another 'fact' throws a hissy fit that his fact is more of a fact lol.

I personally think it will be mandatory, however PayPal havent ask for ID if you are found on their credit searchs/electoral roll check etc. But even still, if you pass that, then you will have ID, so it matters now.
