Billing Address error for Selling cost
Summary: itsjigga is experiencing an issue with updating card information on eBay.de. They receive an error message indicating a mismatch between the billing address and the card address, despite verifying that the addresses match. melina@ebay suggests that the issue might be due to using a foreign bank account and recommends checking with the bank about international transactions. itsjigga clarifies that the problem is with payment for seller costs, not with receiving payments. hasjana advises on potential account registration issues and suggests pausing listings until the issue is resolved.
I am getting blocked from receiving funds to my account and have to update my card info for selling costs. However, when I do that, it pops up with the following error, Please make sure that the billing address you entered matches the address on the card." I have already verified that my billing address matches on multiple cards and none of them are allowing me to input. I'm on ebay.de and am American in Germany but using US bank cards to try and pay, so I'm thinking that may be the issue but I'm unsure how to fix this.

Did you first register the eBay account on ebay.de, or via .com and also already register for payments on .com?
if it's the latter, you can't register on .de with this account at the same time; you'd have to create a new account on .de
in any case, I'd advise you to end all listings first and only start listing items again once the problem with fees / payouts has been fixed

Mentor3 weeks agoHello @itsjigga
Thanks for your post. The cause could be your foreign bank account. Please check with your bank whether payments and debits from foreign bank accounts can be processed.
Please pay attention to the following points when entering your bank details:
The account holder entered for the bank account on eBay must also be the holder of the bank account. For example, if you have a joint account, enter one of the two account holders on eBay. Please compare this information with your bank documents.
Enter the IBAN without spaces.
If the BIC is also required, please make sure the letters and numbers are spelled exactly right (for example 0 and O, 1 and l, 5 and S). BIC characters are always written in uppercase.
@perfect-sally Thanks for the tagging.
Best regards

OP3 weeks agoThe error I’m getting isn’t for the payment but for seller cost. Its saying I cant be paid until I pay the sale cost but I can’t upload a card for the seller cost and it doesnt accept my current IBAN on my account

Mentor3 weeks agoAs far as I know, the bank details must match the data in ebay.
An ebay employee can take a look at this and will get back here.
@melina@ebay would you be so kind, please? Thanks
