I just recently started selling on eBay. I sold 4 items before I had set up managed payments so I can get a payout. Unfortunately since the name on my account does not have my middle initial eBay is giving an error saying my checking account is not recognized. Is there anyway AT ALL to change your name attached to the account? When I go to preference all I can change is my username, email, and phone number.

How about from this page?
https://accountsettings.ebay.com/profile
You can edit your name from here i think....

Unfortunately no. Maybe the problem lies in me being on the mobile website. I’ll try on a computer and see if this works.

Ok, so it did allow me to change the name on my account, but it did not reflect when I made it to the screen when adding my bank. Looks like there is possibly no way to do this other than opening a checking account that doesn't have my middle name attached. I will not be using eBay for further transactions.

Just some food for thought...seems ashame to give up over a trivial thing that is beneficial for your security....
anyways, it might take a short time for the new input you made to propogate through to all the various places your name is 'recorded'....also, I did make a new account for each of my usernames/account at my bank...they are all free, and no monthly fees....that way all my expenses are separate.....
