You would not have a business account unless you created or upgrade you account. Did you go to your profile and check the type of account you have?

If a business account, you would have to contact ebay to see if they would let you change it to an individual account.

As far as a bank update, that has nothing to do with the type of account.

Some things that may help with linking or editing your bank account for Managed Payments:

Go to https://www.ebay.com/sh/fin and click on edit your payout method. Click on the "+" Add payment option. Select the bank and click continue. Add the new bank, which will overwrite the old bank information.

Instead of selecting your bank from the pull down menu, scroll all the way to the end and click on "My bank is not on the list" to enter the information manually.

Make sure you are using your bank's preferred ACH routing number for online deposits, as it often is different than the one preceding your account number on your checks.

Make sure your name is exactly the same on your ebay account as it is on your the bank account. Change the ebay name if needed, you can change it back later.

Some Credit Union accounts have a problem as does some Bank of America accounts, but usually it is the routing number that is the problem. Call your bank and ask which one to use for ebay.
