Hello, I've been an eBayer for years and I signed up for Express Payments last night, I'm getting a message that since I added a Debit Card (which Express Payments require) that now I have to wait 48 hours until getting payment. Does that mean that the $2 fee will be waived this first time as it's not "Express"? I understand the security precautions here but there really should be a warning the first time you set it up about a potential delay.

There is a warning. Express Payout is a new payment method.
"When you add a new payout method, your payout is delayed up to 48 hours as a security caution."
It's stated here:

Why not do daily payouts and save the $2 fee?

The debit card hopefully is the card that connects your routing account number of your checking account.
I signed up under 'Tuesday payouts'...when I did that that was the only one you could use...not daily payouts.
'wait 48 hours'...I didn't know I got express payouts until it showed up one night...eBay doesn't tell you.
There is a 2 buck fee of withdrawing money in 'available funds'...otherwise I get my funds on Tuesday.
You can do the 1-3 business days for funds for free under express payouts when you get it. But remember doing it on a Friday you won't see the funds until maybe Tuesday+. Thursday tomorrow is a holiday.
It works well in emergencies...use it wisely.
Usually the available funds are released after 9PM each 365 days of a year...not before...keep that in mind.
Took a few tries how to work it as to withdrawing..quite a few clinks here and there...plus adding how much money you want to withdraw... It's like an ATM machine...LOL...get the money in 5 seconds for a 2 buck fee.
I have eBay App on my iPhone so I can get money in seconds if needed...like shopping in a store or out with the boys in a bar added to my checking account(debit card).
Probably gave you too much information to read...LOL

You can still do the 1-3 business day daily payouts without a fee in 'Express Payouts'.
Sometimes, we need a quick payment for something...it's basically like a ATM machine.
Tell me you never used an ATM machine and I will not rant anymore.
