Selling overseas

I tried that, bank said the new account must be open for 30 days before any electronic transfer can take place.

Open a new account and transfer everything you currently have to the new account.

Use the existing account to accept the transfer (assuming it's been open for 30 days). Once it hits, transfer it to the new account.

I have one account that I use strictly for sending and receiving online, I keep a minimal balance it in.
