❓ FAQ

Why must I use VISA on eBay?

eBay sits on the deny-list of MPChat's US Direct (MC) risk-control rules. Use Asia Elite Card (virtual) or Global Business Card (physical) — both VISA.

Does a failed eBay order charge me?

No. Failed payments aren't charged, though eBay may pre-auth ~$1 for verification (refunded in days).
