My Bank Acct is closed - Ebay sent funds to it...what next
Summary: bryamoo_0 is seeking advice on handling a situation where eBay disbursed funds to a closed bank account. kensgiftshop suggests contacting the bank for guidance, as some banks may decline the deposit. redmodelt advises updating the eBay account with new bank information and mentions that if the payment bounces back, the funds should be redirected to the new account once it's updated. bryamoo_0 confirms the account is at a new bank and is hopeful about updating the account details if the funds bounce back.
Hey Folks,
Since I am unable to speak to a live support person at eBay and the Ai Agent online & inbound, is useless, what are some suggestions anyone of you that might have whom have had my experience. I sold an item and the funds were disbursed to a bank account I closed a few months prior. Do you know if the funds bounce and is kept on hold until I am able to update my payout options? I can't do that today as the funds have been scheduled to hit that closed account today. Appreciate any suggestions and/or input.

Some banks will decline the deposit and some wont.
