EChecks?
Hi there, I can’t find a way to contact anyone at EBay. A customer is asking me to accept an eCheck. What is this? Is it a valid form of payment? Do I need to provide the buyer with my email address, phone number, etc.?

·3 years agoWhen Pay Pal was processing payments, they allowed eChecks, but they are no longer allowed.

Mentor3 years agoNicely tell your buyer that they must pay through eBay checkout - you can not accept any payment directly from the buyer. To pay from a checking account, your buyer needs a debit card.
Paypal still processes e checks, but only for payments from one member to another, I believe.
An e check is payment by withdrawal from a bank account - it takes 4-5 days to clear, just like a paper check.
