so...... I used my promo coupon to purchase overpriced mailing bags with eBay branding. The tax creates an amount over the coupon. I wanted to pay that with Paypal, as usual, but received a message that the seller (eBay) does not accept Paypal yet. I could use a credit/debit card or google pay. Seriously? I am so tired of this place. As if the continually renewing GTC weren't enough. Any thoughts? I am changing my store subscription to Starter

The eBay suppliers sellers is opted into the managed payments which does not have paypal available yet. eBay has told us they plan to incorporate Paypal this summer and there is some indication that paypal is being added right now to eBay managed payments.
eBay managed payments cost less to use than paypal so the eBay suppliers sellers is saving fees by using this. Hopefully when your next coupon comes out Paypal will be active at that time.
Good Luck Selling!

The seller doesn't accept Paypal any more. They have switched over to eBay's new "Managed Payments" program. Which will someday let buyers use PayPal.

Ebay is slowly moving away from using paypal as its main payment processor.

Is this a movement that will affect all sellers and if so will the savings you mentioned be passed on to other sellers (like me!)?

@chatsnoire not sure what the seller fee will be for managed payments when it's rolled out to everyone. Right now the want me to sign up and are offering 2.7% vs PayPal 2.9%
For high volume sellers this will save them money. I am waiting until PayPal is an option as some buyers prefer it.

Yes. Eventually over the next few years all sellers will be in the eBay managed payments. Right now eBay is inviting and approving specific sellers who would benefit and also not be in conflict with things like paypal working capital or merchant processing accounts.
eBay has told us that they will open up the enrollment very soon for even more sellers in stages over the next few years.
