Link Bank Account - This is taking longer than usual

Question

I'm a new seller on eBay and I'm trying to link my bank account for payouts. Whenever, I select my bank from the list, it tells me, "This is taking longer than usual. Please check your Internet connection." I cleared my browser's cache and cookies, tried a different WiFi network, and a different bank account and nothing is working. I am beyond frustrated. **bleep** IS GOING ON!!!?

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 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.
