I personally loved Paypal. Though it usually only takes 3 days for me to get my Money from Ebay now. I liked being able to have money in Paypal to pay shipping. And Paypal shipping always gave me a discount-Ebay shipping does not.
MP can't affect your sales as it has nothing to do with sales. It is merely a money processing system.
It does not affect buyers. Most don't likely even know that MP exists. Buyers GAIN a payment option so other than that, nothing changed for them.
However with that said, some sellers have reported, like you, that their sales when down when they went into MP. I personally don't have any answer for that, anymore than I do for others that reported that their sales when way up when they entered MP. It has all been reported. Ups and downs. Still not the responsibility of MP.
The shipping rate discounts on PayPal are the EXACT same as on Ebay. So I don't know what is up with that. Can you give some specifics?

Yes I'm sure. When PayPal was a seller's money processor, they didn't affect sales on Ebay either. So why should MP? It would make no sense on how a money processing program could affect a seller's sales since it has NOTHING to do with how you list your items, the rules for listing or anything else in regards to your listings themselves.
I know some want it to seem like MP is at fault for most everything on Ebay, even things they can't really explain, but in reality, it is not. It is simply a money processing program. NOTHING more.

eBay and Paypal split - that Huge mistake was inevitable.
Paypal and eBay both give the commercial discount.
That “Huge mistake” was also incredibly profitable for eBay shareholders.
Which, as we know, is exactly why it happened. Lots of money was made by the shareholders.
