Ebay takes FOREVER to process payments... is this ever going to change?? | Payments

Time to vent. I've been selling on ebay a long time and remember the good old days when a buyer paid for something it would be in my bank within the hour or less. But now, since they broke ties with PayPal it seems to take many days for payments to process. This is getting old. We live in a modern world with all kinds of technology, can someone explain why eBay still takes the same amount of time to process an electronic payment as it would if the buyer literally mailed me a check like it was 1975? This is ridiculous. Get with the times for godsake. Having a site like eBay have the same kind of payment processing speed as snail mail is laughable. Pretty much every place else on the net that deals with payments (Etsy, Shopify, etc) all process instantly, if not at least within 24 hours. I have had payments on ebay take 4 to 5 days to get processed and since they don't process over the weekend it can stretch it out even longer depending on when the buyer has paid. Can someone please remind eBay that it is 2023? Thank you.
