eBay - FAQ


To register for a Payoneer account, please use the link provided in the eBay sign up process. This will ensure a smooth onboarding experience while avoiding any friction during the document verification process.


When registering for eBay to manage your payments, you will be able to select the “existing Payoneer account” option.

After signing into your existing account, your eBay funding source will be automatically connected to Payoneer.

Existing customers might be asked to provide additional customer information to comply with eBay’s terms. In addition, we’ll be emailing you with more information about the eBay onboarding process, which applies to existing accounts as well.

Note: As part of eBay managing your payments, when onboarding to Payoneer eBay will sync your eBay entity details to match those in your Payoneer account.


If you linked the wrong Payoneer account while registering through eBay, you will have the option to go back and select a different Payoneer account.

Simply click on ‘Select a different Payoneer account’ at the bottom of the ‘Sync your profiles’ page (step 2 of the registration process).
