This was for Fun .. It is no longer fun, I am not a store, or a company, Or a dealer, We are just a couple of collectors who sell from time to time........... I have never had a store here or even use Seller hub , We are not a business and never will be! And as far as Signing up for MP . I do not need Ebay to manage my payments, I am more of a Buyer and Paypal works just fine for us, we will stick with them!
Then you'll be fine because as you know, buyers can still use PP.
In looking at your account, you do a fair amount of selling. So if you aren't going to sell those items here anymore, what are your plans to move those items you want to get rid of?

No they did not. First off the contract between Ebay and PP that was as of the result of Ebay spinning PP off, ended in June of 2020. That contract had restrictions on Ebay and some restrictions on PP. Now neither site has any restrictions on them, so Ebay can move forward with MP and PP is free to sell there services to anyone they choose. This would NOT have been a contract to be renegotiated or extended.
Ebay and PP are in the middle of a 5 year contract which ensures that PP will provide services for both buyers and sellers. A 5 year term is pretty normal stuff. This contract ends in 2023. We will have to wait and see if they renegotiate the contract and what that might look like when we get closer to this contract expiring. And that is pretty standard procedures.
So you are misinformed about Ebay and the contract still in force with PP.
Ebay has been here for 25 years. Odd that some think that suddenly Ebay is going to drop their security because of MP and just let us all be targets. That isn't even logical. And FYI Ebay and PP's security is very much alike since Ebay use to own PP.
By the way how do I access now ebay's transaction data from a backend service?
I'd be happy to help but I don't know what this means. What is a "backend service"? Transaction data for MP is shown in the Seller Hub under the Payments tab. Is that what you are looking for? There are various reports and screens that are very helpful under this tab.
Because ebay's api is not designed for it, while it was a set and forget it process through paypal.
Isn't designed for WHAT? What is a "set and forget it process through PP"?
Ebay has a user interactive process for getting an access code before getting the token to access the transactions data.
This is Ebay's site. Why do they need anything special to access transactional data?

I've bee selling and buying on eBay for many years, but I'm not bout to expose my bank account access when eBay hasn't really addressed how they would keep it secure. One clever hacker potentially could have unlimited acces to numerous checking accounts. In an age rampant with identity theft, this is the wrong move at the wrong time. I still don't know where I will be able to market the things commonly traded on eBay, but the obvious security risk is too great.
Yes they have. Have you researched this or did you assume they have been silent?

If you are expecting them to give you detailed information about how they secure our information, you will be disappointed to be sure. However it wouldn't be smart on their part to publish that kind of info as it would likely make it far easier for hackers to hack. Therefore Ebay can't get into the details of security.
Ebay is 25 years old and has always had some financial info on sellers safe and secure. How old does the site need to be before you are comfortable with security?
All internet sites are at risk for hacking all the time. Not just Ebay, but every site. So it is always good to be cautious.

In protest of eBay requiring my SSN to continue selling I've decided to let my last invoice go un-paid and removed the eBay Authorization to charge my PayPal account. Maybe a lack of payment will get their attention and make them reconsider their policies, however unlikely. Good luck to all that remain.
LOL Really, you think that is a good plan that you would endorse for others to follow in your shoes?? You do realize that at some point it will affect your credit rating when Ebay reports to the various credit reporting services right?? The only one you will be teaching a lesson to is yourself.
FYI, Mp does NOT require your full SSN, they only require your last 4 digits. So what you are upset about isn't even an issue.
