I'll tell you my story and if there are any doubts I have all the printscreens to confirm it...I've been a buyer and seller on ebay for over 5 years... I have a few items for sale on ebay and I haven't sold anything for less than a year...Last week I sold an item, but since I hadn't updated my bank account in a while... It expired... So far so good.My problem now is activating my account.I received a message from ebay with a link to activate my bank account again so that I can receive the money for the items I sold... So far so good...Now comes the scary part... Initially they said this:â€œWhile we're waiting for the bank, I'll explain how the transaction is confirmed: after the bank verifies your information, it will send push notifications to the bank that you must accept. You will see a push notification that the funds will be debited, but don't worry. Once accepted, the funds will no longer be debited. These are just confirmations for authorization in the banking system. The money will be frozen for 5 seconds, after which you will receive a verification certificate and a full refund on your card. Are you ready to receive and accept the PUSH notification?â€Do you have any idea how much ebay asked me for? 5000â‚¬... Yes 5000â‚¬...Can anyone explain to me why ebay is demanding thousands of euros??? I'm from the days when ebay sent/withdrew 0.20cent to confirm the bank account...Now I need to know if this is a normal ebay procedure... or if I've simply been misled by someone inside ebay....
