Why?
If your payouts are sent to a Payoneer account
eBay will be partnering with Payoneer, a leader in global payments, to enable sellers in select countries to easily receive funds associated with their transactions on eBay. This partnership will allow sellers to manage all their transactions on eBay, providing a streamlined selling experience, while also providing flexibility in managing funds.
If you have an existing Payoneer account you will be able to link it to your eBay account during registration for eBay to manage payments. If you don’t have a Payoneer account, you will be asked to create one during registration. Earnings from eBay sales, regardless of the payment option used by the buyer, will be deposited directly to your Payoneer account in US dollars.
Additional information may be requested by Payoneer after your registration is complete. Learn more.
If your payouts are sent to a bank account
During the registration process you can choose to add a bank account — whether existing or new. Please ensure that the name, address, and business information (if applicable) on your bank account matches the name and information on your eBay account.
