    Micro deposits
                     

    Hello , I’ve been buying/selling with the same bank account for years. Today I got a notice from eBay saying they are sending micro deposits to verify account. Is this a scam? Why would they verify an account I’ve been using for years?

    No it's not a scam.

    Since Ebay implemented the Managed Payments, they need to verify sellers' bank accounts in order to process payments to the seller's bank account and to comply with financial regulations.
