Yes I agree with you. And I directly answered the OPs questions. But I see your point completely.

Why would someone else's work ethic, or lack of, have anything to do with mine? Some people never go to work. I never considered that a reason for me to stay home.
I work the days/hours I work because it's what I choose....not because someone else is calling the shots.
I learned a long time ago to not put more effort than your employer rewards you for. That is why I quit my fast food job many years ago for this. Now history has repeated itself it seems. Luckily I am working on my Shopify and Marketplace business. Just a shame eBay is getting so far away from their original core business.
That is so subjective. I bet some hamburger slingers feel they should be making $20 an hour but that has no basis in reality. Typically with a job you are hired to perform a function for a price. If you don't like the job requirements for the pay you are getting, then don't take the job. Or if you have to take the job as you need some money to keep the lights on, then do your job and move on when you have another better paying job lined up. Doing a substandard job because you feel you are worth more money isn't the answer.
Have you looked at their Payment policies?

Every site has them. Whether it is their own Payment process or that you are free to use whatever payment process you want.
Not a problem, I simply Googled it and found it.

Yup I am aware of that. I am willing to put up with certain hardships if it means being on a better site. When eBay insists on continually making things worse there is less motivation to be here.
That is really subjective. I've been in MP for awhile now and it presents no "hardship" for me. I respect that others don't like it, but there are also many that do just fine with it.

No I wasn't. I was responding to your comments as related to this thread topic which was MP. If the topic changed somewhere, then I missed it and didn't change with it.
This is a very old thread and many things have changed since this thread was started.
IDK why a CSR would tell you it is "high risk" as it has nothing to do with anything.
It has EVERYTHING to do with MP uses the ACH banking system to perform the money transfers. The ACH is NOT open on Saturday, Sunday or Federal holidays. So on those days, no one, Ebay or anyone else in the world can make an ACH transfer.
Now since this thread was started, a few months back, MP started creating Payouts on Saturdays and Sundays if one was due per the seller's choice of Payout times. This does speed things up for sellers because the go into the Queue for the ACH banking system to be processed ASAP when they open on the next business day.
If that still presents a problem for you I suggest doing your best to set aside a little money as often as you can so you can build up your cash flow to better tolerate a 24-48 hour slow down of money. You may not be able to accomplish this right away depending on your financial situation, but with time you should be able to build enough backup to better tolerate the weekends.
