I have a UK LTD, which bank would work with ebay?
 

Hi everyone, I have recently formed a UK LTD company as a non-resident and am going to create an ebay seller account on these LTD details.

But I'm confused about MP. I have heard that eBay doesn't accept Wise. Is this also true for other virtual banks like Tide or Monzo?

And if it is true, then do you guys know if there's a physical bank that would let me create an account on my LTD details without me being a UK resident?

Thank you so much!

Re: I have a UK LTD, which bank would work with ebay?
 

ebay do not allow non residents to open accounts , Ltd needs at least one director who is a UK resident

Re: I have a UK LTD, which bank would work with ebay?
 

Monzo works fine

Re: I have a UK LTD, which bank would work with ebay?
 

what's the experience with tide like?

Re: I have a UK LTD, which bank would work with ebay?
 

Does ebay uk accept Tide?

Re: I have a UK LTD, which bank would work with ebay?
 

Eb UK accepts Monzo and Starling which are both online banks, you do need to have a residency in the UK to open though.

Re: I have a UK LTD, which bank would work with ebay?
 

most uk banks and EMI's stopped taking non residents and ebay banned almost all banks and EMI's that still take non residents

Re: I have a UK LTD, which bank would work with ebay?
 

I'm sorry? Are you saying ebay can check LTDs details and not allow those who have non-resident directors?

Re: I have a UK LTD, which bank would work with ebay?
 

Have you tried adding it recently? I read somewhere that Monzo is not getting accepted by ebay. Also, Monzo personal or business account?

Re: I have a UK LTD, which bank would work with ebay?
 

That's awesome. Because people are quoting me a couple hundred pounds to open an HSBC account for me. Would be great if I can get by with an online bank. Have you tried adding these banks to ebay recently?

Re: I have a UK LTD, which bank would work with ebay?
 

all ltd details are checked through companies house and additionally credit check is performed on director

Re: I have a UK LTD, which bank would work with ebay?
 

Yes I have added both Monzo personal and business and no issues, with starling I've only added personal but business will work too.

See how you get on, I do have 4 spare bank accounts if you need one, the terms can be discussed.

When you set up as a limited company beware that eb will do a thorough check, my account was suspended and I had to call in to "re-activate account". I was asked to upload ID and proof of address, they don't always ask for these documents but its more than likely they will suspend your account and will be asked to call in to discuss what you will be selling etc, etc

Re: I have a UK LTD, which bank would work with ebay?
 

Are you a UK resident? You must need your head looking into if you allowed a Pakistani to use one of your bank accounts.

Re: I have a UK LTD, which bank would work with ebay?
 

Why did you create a Limited Company? You can sell on ebay UK quite legitimately as a Pakistani national.

Re: I have a UK LTD, which bank would work with ebay?
 

No need to go down the racist route, have you ever heard of the word broker?
Also it clearly states terms to be discussed, those terms are not for a public forum to be discussed in.

I don't understand what your problem is when it clearly doesn't affect you in any way.

Re: I have a UK LTD, which bank would work with ebay?
 

Settle down, it ain't racist to state the obvious. Are you aware of some of the unwanted terrorism 'leaderboard' issues Pakistan has.

You ain't no broker, you're a low grade stealther like the rest of us.

It also clearly state in the forum rules that unapproved members will not peddle accounts, particularly bank accounts! :rolleyes:

Re: I have a UK LTD, which bank would work with ebay?
 

Clearly it is racist when you are trying to paint the whole population of Pakistan with the same brush as a terrorist nation, do some reading and you'll find out which nations have committed horrendous atrocities.

Not everyone has a privileged life like yours where some even don't have the basic necessities, but lets not get into debates.

As far as I understood, this is a forum to help others, I'm not peddling anything, if I wanted to do that then would have sent him DM instead of openly stating that I am willing to help him out, and when it concerns a bank account then the risk is mine to take as I know HMRC have the power to freeze accounts if they so wish for further investigation.

Re: I have a UK LTD, which bank would work with ebay?
 

cool down , the guy will not be allowed to run an account on ebay anyway unless he can show the LTD is run by at least one UK resident whose identity can be verified and who is stated as company officer on the companieshouse website so the issue with bank will not arise either

Re: I have a UK LTD, which bank would work with ebay?
 

Hey man, PMed you!

Okay, so if I upload my Pakistani passport, would it get rejected? Does ebay have any policy for this? I tried looking it up but couldn't find anything.

Edit: Nvm, can't send PMs before 25 posts. Can you please PM me?

Re: I have a UK LTD, which bank would work with ebay?
 

What issues are you talking about and what does that have to do with me? I'm a normal dude just trying to make some money like the rest of you.

And for the other question, I created an account on my details but ebay suspended it like 10 minutes later. I made an appeal. They said they can't reinstate it *HOWEVER* I was free to create another account. Did just that and that got the ban hammer as well after 10 minutes.

Re: I have a UK LTD, which bank would work with ebay?
 

Hey man, I tried looking it up but the only thing I was able to find on ebay's website was that the company's directors will be verified, not that they had to be residents of the same country. Can you tell me where you're getting this info?

Re: I have a UK LTD, which bank would work with ebay?
 

all financial companies in the uk are obliged to verify LTD information on the companieshouse website so that a representative of the company must be present on companieshouse as company officer

Re: I have a UK LTD, which bank would work with ebay?
 

Right. But where does it say that directors need to be UK residents? I know HSBC needs a UK director with 50% control but that's clearly mentioned on their website.

Re: I have a UK LTD, which bank would work with ebay?
 

ebay do not verify non residents so verification can not be completed successfully

Re: I have a UK LTD, which bank would work with ebay?
 

In which case ebay will request ID and proof of address for a company director.

Re: I have a UK LTD, which bank would work with ebay?
 

Hey Nimble,

Sorry mate, apparently I can't even reply to your PM without having 25 posts first which is ridiculous. Can you please PM me your Skype or Whatsapp so I can get in touch with you there? Thanks.

Re: I have a UK LTD, which bank would work with ebay?
 

ebay have localized everything after MP was implemented , in case of UK: uk company , uk resident , uk mobile , uk bank

Re: I have a UK LTD, which bank would work with ebay?
 

They can't show you because it doesn't say it anywhere.


One thing is for sure though, they will want your personal details, you can't simply hide behind a Limited Company in an attempt to remain anonymous. From what you've said that is going to be an issue and why I guess you went down the Ltd Co route.

Whilst not a legal requirement, ebay/Adyen would expect the Bank account to belong to the Company and it will be verified. Any wheeze you look to pull with a stranger on this forum wouldn't get over the first hurdle.

Re: I have a UK LTD, which bank would work with ebay?
 

Wow this statement of yours right here makes me think you don't want anyone else to create any stealth accounts or you don't know how to create them.

Eb/Adyen expect eb account name to match bank account name, yet verification passes with mismatch names.

Likewise, no issues with LTD co having mismatch names on bank account.

What's your problem dude why are you spreading false information?

Perhaps, you are an account seller on here under a different name.

Re: I have a UK LTD, which bank would work with ebay?
 

Wow this statement of yours right here makes me think you don't want anyone else to create any stealth accounts or you don't know how to create them. Indeed, in this instance it's not even a effort to create a stealth account!

Nope, mismatched named will not work with foreign national Limited Companies. Fact. I should know I am one and have tried it, which is more than you have. You're as bad as the other bull$hitter, who at least has tried in some way to tell you the issues above.

I'm going to stick my neck out and say you haven't got a clue on how to manage a Limited Company, how they work, or their legal obligations. None whatsoever. Another wanabee forum guru who simply makes it up as they go along.

But you keep trying to peddle your dodgy bank account broker service. Like I said, you must be off your trolley if you wanted to offer a bogus bank account to a foreign national owned Limited Company. Good luck in providing the mandatory bank statement :pound: :pound: :pound:

(here's a tip which I use, never implicitly trust the advice of a low post member who's bought one of the guides :) )

Re: I have a UK LTD, which bank would work with ebay?
 

this guy has been spreading false info here for a long time , most of his posts are made up stories. the issue here is that the actual company verification would not come through on ebay so that payouts would be blocked , it does not matter which bank account is used

this text alone says it all: "mismatched named will not work with foreign national Limited Companies"

the clown really thinks that bank account verification is connected to whether LTD belongs to a foreigner or uk resident

Re: I have a UK LTD, which bank would work with ebay?
 

Just give the guy the link they're asking for, you never do this, never. All you spout is unfounded personal opinion.

But I will tell you this, the reason I have not categorically refuted your claim is because I am unsure of post brexit criteria, that said neither are you. You cannot give any evidence only opinion but I can at least say that you could create an ebay UK account as a foreign national via a Limited Company because I've done it. I am a foreign national with exactly the set up OP wants. (apart from the ridiculous banking arrangements proposal)
So put up or shut up, give the guy some meaningful evidence, just one link, just one other forum, anything to confirm that this policy has been changed.

FYI I've also been messing with releasing bank accounts, which you said could be done with a dummy account and everyone who said it couldn't was wrong. Guess what, it's can't be done without the replacement being verified first as per their clearly stated policy. I'll provide screenshots for you later.

If you put as much effort into supplying evidence of your claims as you do trying to deny anyone elses, even when links and evidence are provided, you could almost be a useful member.

Just think how much it would stroke your ego if you could, just once, prove me wrong. Go for it!

Re: I have a UK LTD, which bank would work with ebay?
 

I can submit my passport and stuff. Never submitted ID documents to ebay. My address would be an issue because that's linked to a suspended account.


From what I've seen on the forum so far, bank details don't need to be the same. If that was a requirement, people wouldn't be able to sell ebay accounts here.

Re: I have a UK LTD, which bank would work with ebay?
 

I guessed as much about the personal details, you're going to struggle then, a Limited Company wont hide you.

The bank account issue is going to be inconsequential if you can't open the account, but for a non-resident Limited Company they will verify the account, mismatched names will not work, and they will ask for a bank statement. I speak from personal experience. Do not confuse this with residential private accounts being sold which are nothing like what you're trying to do.

Re: I have a UK LTD, which bank would work with ebay?
 

writing all possible crap here and asking for proof it is not crap is not going to do you any good. everyone reading this who is actually familiar with the topic would see you are a clown spreading lies

the OP in the other thread on bank account replacement has already replaced bank without confirming new one - just like I said

Re: I have a UK LTD, which bank would work with ebay?
 

Blah blah blah, put up or shut up. No proof of your gibberish EVER!

I will repeat an indisputable fact because your ego seems to be impairing your vision. You cannot release your bank account with false details. No matter how often you bleat on about it you are 100% wrong. :clap:

I've tested it and failed. I'll put this out there for folk to decide what they think ebay will do with your false details wheeze:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/help/selling/...ayouts?id=4796

To update your bank account for payouts:

Go to Payments in Seller Hub or My eBay.
Select Edit next to the payout method you want to update.
Select Add and follow the steps to add your new payout method.
It usually takes 2 business days for changes to be confirmed and payouts to be enabled for your new bank account.

We’ll need to verify your details when you update any relevant information on your account. You can verify your bank account by logging into your bank, uploading a bank statement, or using microdeposits. Learn more about microdeposits and verifying your bank details in our article on Registering as a seller.

What you need to know
Once you’ve updated your details, we’ll verify your bank account, which can take up to 2 business days. Once your account is verified, we’ll send you a confirmation email, and you’ll start receiving your payouts in your new bank account.

Re: I have a UK LTD, which bank would work with ebay?
 

As I said, I can verify my identity no problem. Only the address would be an issue but I suppose that can also be handled, provided they even ask for my Pakistani address.

Re: I have a UK LTD, which bank would work with ebay?
 

There's just racist idiots on here so be careful don't reply to the idiots

Re: I have a UK LTD, which bank would work with ebay?
 

Ebay statement applies to many countries,it is not going into any specific requirements per country,but you will find out when they approve or reject your application.
why dont you go to UK seller forum and ask,if there is a UK seller forum like the US SELLER forum.
