(Short list of what you need to do is at bottom of this post).
Although your thread is posted as a rant, in the long run it won't help. I know what you need to do, I went through it. Hopefully you can see this post through all the hate monger posts that offer no help and just clog up threads.
1.) If your bank is not on the list, it is NOT a big bank- get over it and stop defending it.
2.) I am with a Credit Union- small Cali only and opened 'another' checking acct. for just this business, separating from my personal checking and savings accounts.
3.) I received many 'generic' emails that you need to 'update' your account, after I already did (6 times, and what I did was 'respond' to the emails and had communications back and forth over a 2 month period). When I responded, I simply said "you keep sending me generic 'update your bank' emails, but no detailed direction on what you need. I send voided check and a statement (note that my acct. was new, but took a month for them to tell me to 'send a statement' so I had one I could print on line)
This is what was wrong and this is what you can fix
First; be sure your name, including middle initial or middle name, if on your checking account, is the exact same name as the ebay account. 'Tom' and 'Thomas' are the not the same. James J Jones is not the same as James Jones etc. If needed, fix your name on ebay, because banks won't in time (and some simply won't without a middle initial)
1.) Credit Union customers are 'members' so my checking statement had my 'member number' at the top and then just a 2 digit 'identifier' on my statement for each account (1 checking, 1 savings). Therefore, nothing with the matching 12 digit checking account number was shown on the statement. My 7 digit member number is in the middle of the 12 digit checking- so I told them that, circled it and scanned it again.
2.) They wanted a 'voided' check. I had temp checks, because I just opened the account and planned to never write checks. Temp checks don't have the little 'lock' shown on the right side of a check. Temp checks were white and they couldn't see the 4 corners of the check when I scanned it. So, I ordered checks (these checks have the little lock, and they are 'blue' so the corners stood out.
So, you need
1.) Exact matching name checking vs. ebay
2.) a statement that actually shows the matching 12 digit acct. number.
3.) Blank 'voided' check in a color that allows corner to be seen, with the little 'lock' on the right side.
I'm in MP now, get cash in my bank 3 days after a purchase (buyer buys on Tues, cash in bank on Fri)- obviously not like PP, but not as bad as it sounded.
