EBAY MP

[2walker2013]

I just got a payout from eBay Tuesday, then 2 things sold Wednesday and when I went to print the shipping labels I had to purchase them through my Paypal account because eBay said I didn't have enough funds in my account to buy the shipping labels.  Now ebay just got the the money from the 2 purchases but must keep the money for 3 days for processing.  That means whenever there's a payout you cannot print a shipping label using eBay for at least 3 days.  That also means money from your banking account must be transferred to Paypal (if there's not enough in the account) or it has to be charged to a credit card in which money again from your banking account has to be used to pay the credit card.  This is a lot of circular banking!  I really would like to be in charge of when and how much money is transferred to my bank account.  I would always leave enough money in my eBay account to pay for future shipping labels and future shopping on eBay.  In case there was ever not enough then eBay could charge my credit card.

There are workarounds. At the bottom of your label page, change the payment method from 'PayPal' to 'Pending Payouts.

I've been in MP for over a year-and-a-half, and I choose to pay for my shipping with my attached bank account. (Some sellers use a credit card.) Put the method of your choice in your PayPal wallet and select it as the 'Preferred' method of payment while shopping online. It will kick in once you have a zero PP balance... no more transferring funds.
