How to link bank account

Question

When trying to set up a seller account I am trying to link my bank account to accept payments. Only Venmo, Paypal and debit card are available. There is not an option for bank account? Anyone know what I need to do to add a bank account?

@franklinbridgegolf To set up a seller account you have to first list an item. The payment options you are seeing are for Buying only.

Here's how to set up your seller account.

All buyers payments are managed by eBay and sent to your linked checking account. eBay doesn't offer the debit card payout option at first.

You need to create your first listing directly on eBay to get your seller account set up.

Complete these steps in this order.

a) Draft a listing on eBay, click submit or "list it". The system should guide you through setup. If not, follow these steps:

b) Verify/update/complete your Profile Registration: Name, address, phone number, identity information (profile) on your eBay Account: https://accountsettings.ebay.com/profile

-- Use your Street Address, even if you donâ€™t get mail there.
-- Make sure to use your full legal name and that it matches your bank account and government ID ( drivers license etc)

c) And add a Checking Account ( it must be a brick and mortar checking account) and Credit/Debit Card: https://ppcapp.ebay.com/myppc/wallet/list

You will need to provide a SS# or ITIN to receive your payouts.

Please check to see if you have BOTH a Checking account marked for "Used for payouts" and a credit/debit card. One of these (bank account or card) needs to be marked for "Preferred for selling costs" I use a credit card for selling costs so that refunds and other fees don't come from my checking account.

Hi @franklinbridgegolf

To link your bank account for selling on eBay:

Go to your payments section here:
https://ppcapp.ebay.com/myppc/wallet/list
Look for the option to add a bank account under Payment Methods. If you donâ€™t see it, try using a desktop browser instead of the app.
Make sure the name on your bank account matches your eBay account name exactly - this is required for verification.

If the bank option still doesnâ€™t show, your account may still be going through setup or may have a restriction. You can check for any account limitations or suspensions here:
