eBay

Why is it so hard to have my funds deposited into my PayPal account, instead of into my bank account? I try to keep my web earnings in PayPal. This is unnecessarily complicated.

Because eBay no longer has that arrangement with PayPal -- they cut the knot several years ago. Now eBay uses Managed Payments, through a different financial entity.

You can probably arrange with the bank that is receiving your eBay payments, to transfer those payments immediately to your PayPal account -- but that is a service for which your bank will probably expect you to pay.

Or you can just do it yourself -- without paying the bank.

It's eBay. That means it's necessarily complicated or it wouldn't be eBay.😁

Keep your earnings in a bank. When you buy using Paypal, use a credit card for the funding. You have an extra layer of buyer protection. I never kept a cent in my paypal account. I always emptied it before I made a purchase and the funds to buy something only came out of a credit card.

Ebay and Paypal have since parted ways a few years ago. Now all payments received go to your bank account. I personally miss Paypal, but hey this isn't my playground, it's Ebays.

What I miss is paying my Ebay fees with my Discover card. I was getting 2-3% cash back. I hate that ebay gets their cut before I get to touch my money.
