Thank you for your post.
We got the "update your account" banner on Wednesday.
No message, no email.
It was misleading to me & typically eBay. Felt underhanded. Can they not say, it's your turn for managed payments? Is it so awful, they can't call it what it is?
Its no longer working for us, either.
Buying for close to 20 years, selling more for an income for 6.
With eBay's fees on tax & the increasing postage PLUS adding eBay's fee to that we just aren't making enough for our efforts.
Especially when there are constant changes for no apparent reason (to sellers anyway).
Like loss of classic view, no more easy PayPal, constant fears of getting ripped off.
We are Always afraid we will commit a sin to upset the eBay gods ot G.d forbid, selling the wrong thing,
Then there are now postal delivery worries. Chasing the Mail carrier down the street because again, they skipped a scheduled delivery, dealing with nervous buyers, who don't seem to understand that there is not an eBay truck bringing their items, watching tracking, it has added another big headache.
And ebay holds us accountable.
Although a Chinese seller can ship partially, take 3 months, or not ship at all.
Trying to keep up with all for a low volume seller is nearly impossible.
All of those hours are unpaid effort.
Not selling, which is sort of the point.
For us, maybe it was some fun, but we need $$.
We, too, have sold items on Facebook Marketplace.
Buyers come to our front porch, give us cash & we are finished.
Its soooo easy.
If Facebook is good enough for eBay, to reach customer service, then it's definitely good enough for us to use to sell.
I could echo what so many on here say.
Best of luck to all.
After all, if we want, we can come back.
Ebay had become a habit for us & I think it may not be a good one.
