If you're concerned about others getting into your personal checking account ... then open a new one that you use just for selling. That way your main account will stay private.
NO seller or buyer will ever have any access to your payment information or bank account.
Thank you, but it doesn't seem safe because ebay said they are going to withdraw a small amt. of money to verify my account then why can't someone else, if they get the account info from ebay, do the same only for more money?

No one can get your account info from Ebay.
The small amount (usually a few cents) that is withdrawnor deposted to/ from your account for verification purposes get deposited back into your account as soon as you verify the amounts.

OP2 years agoThank you. Why can't my account be set to have the buyer pay to just PayPal or into my credit card?

·2 years agoBecause eBay has its own payment processing system.
You must use this system with an attached checking account or no longer sell on eBay.

Ebay processes seller payments into the seller's checking accounts. Paypal and credit cards do not handle seller payouts.
