Hi,I just wanted to verify my bank account as a private seller because I - my eBay account has been around for quite a while - wanted to list an item again for the first time in ages. But it didn’t work. Could be my fault, though. At first I found it a bit odd that eBay wanted my online banking ID. Blocked that. Of course.For the alternative of entering my bank account manually, you have to agree to Trustly’s terms of use. Unfortunately the link to these terms of use (apparently “just” a pdf) doesn’t work for me. So of course I’m not agreeing to them. How did it go for you when you verified your bank account? Did you ignore Trustly’s terms of use, did the link work, or did you not even look at them? Second, the account holder’s name must match the name on my eBay account EXACTLY.My bank name also includes my middle name. Of course I didn’t enter that when I created the eBay account. I’ve now stopped for the time being and ended my listing again. I had hoped that eBay would have learned something after all these looooong years. It could also be that I no longer understand the times (I’ve always found happy-path programming a nightmare).Thanks and regards, Norbert
