How many casual sellers will not sign up for managed payments and will stop selling

[gregmm]

I sometimes help friends and people who ask If I will help them setup  selling on ebay. Some that sell  maybe $1000 a year I have setup asked me this week  about ebay making them go to Manged payments and 2 said flat out I will not give ebay access to a bank account.and have stopped selling.  How many small sellers will ebay lose  and is that there intent  to weed out the vary small sellers?

I think you are wrong.. some. Like me.. do not want to grant access to my one and only checking account where they came take money out.. so much could go wrong. Take more than they should... Cause me to have insufficient funds... Hacked eBay and someone can empty what little I have in my checking account.. as for eBay always could get info from Paypal.. wrong. I do not even have a bank account linked to my Paypal. It is all funded by any funds that get deposited into it.. laugh at me, but I am not giving someone keys into my house to take cookies whenever they want... I have zero direct payments set up with anyone, phone, electric and so on.  Selling 300.00 a year on eBay is not enough for me to give them access to my checking account...

I'm moving on to another site, ebay won't let me post the site, but it's FREE to sell there -

come on everyone let's move over to webs----.com

[deckert1987]

Disagree - if millions of us move over to the FREE selling site, that will bring traffic over

to their site & others will be going under!

Let's move!!

Selling $300/year on eBay wouldn't be enough for me to sell on eBay no matter what their payment system looked like.

I will no longer be an Ebay seller.  They will not have access to my bank account.  Will take my items to local resale shops from now on.

I out the end of May also, been selling on Ebay since 2006. I will not be forced to give them access to my checking account.

When I started selling in 2011, I gave them access to my checking account to pay my fee's and I've never had a problem.

Some get another checking account to use with MP

For sellers wanting to recycle $5 chattel rather than throw it in the dumpster, eBay/Paypal was a good choice.

But yes, no way in Hell with MP.

I believe their intent was to try to own as much of Adyen as possible.

Anyone know how that's working out?

Based on this slide from the Q1 21 earnings report, I'd venture a guess it's working out alright from eBay's perspective.

I did sign up for the new 2021 request and I AM NOT going to send my bank statement and Id for the newest items ebay is asking for or they will hold your payments from buyers. I have deleated all my selling items and will probably be closing my stores soon, I have 2. I signed up for ebay in 2002 or 4 and have perfect feedback of 34,000 but I don't agree with the new ebay requests.

So, if anyone is interested in TY beanies, etc.(I have totes full) or 1996 Olympics pins, souviners, etc. ( I have lots) or quilting fabrics(I have lots of fat q, 1/2 yds, 1 yds & Panels that I purchased from other ebay sellers when I was colloecting and have sold a lot of, please look me up through ebay messages. I just want everything gone now, I'm done. I am 71 yers old and my hubby is not in good health so I don't have time to devote to ebay with all their new ideas for sellers. 

Thanks and have a great day and always happy ebay-ing.
