How To Pay for Shipping Labels / Managed Payments
I've been on Managed Payments for 4 days now. The gap between that and PayPal isn't as wide as we are lead to believe here on the discussion boards. We technically have access to our "pending payouts" immediately upon sale in order to print shipping labels - just like on PayPal. You just have to switch the setting from "pay with PayPal" to "pay with pending payouts." This is located at the bottom of the shipping label window, so if you so desire, you can change it when you print your next label. And it is reflected on the payments summary screen within a minute. It's that simple. So your business is not going to come to a screeching, grinding halt for having to come out of pocket via debit or credit card in order to print labels. However, it's not a bad idea to earn extra points/money for using a rewards card.
I have noticed that as of now, eBay still invoices us separately for our "subscription fee" and "ad fees." Those 2 things are not automatically taken out just because you have the funds pending or available from sales. Personally, I like to pay those things immediately as they arise, instead of waiting until the actual last day they're due.
All in all, the adjustment from PayPal to Managed Payments is not the end of the world like many of the drama kings and queens on the discussion boards would have you believe. These are likely people that just hate change and have set out to make a mountain out of a mole hill.
I hope this helps.

·3 years agoToday I had an issue. I have been paying for labels from available funds/pending funds for over a year. Today for some strange reason. It went to paypal. I did not change the setting. I have not used paypal for over a year or more. A little frustrating.
