I've seen this topic a few times and, after opening a new account to sell alternative items, I came across the inability to add my bank account. The option was readily available to add a credit or debit card to buy, but not a bank account to get paid.
Here is the fix, that should be prompted by eBay when opening a new account. (Go figure that it isn't...)
Go to Site Map (https://pages.ebay.com/sitemap.html). Scroll down to My Selling Account, then click on Choose automatic payment method. You will be prompted to establish a seller account, after which time it will offer you the option of adding a bank account. Click to add, then add your information. It's just that simple!
