NOT Embracing Ebay Managed Payments

[mysunflowerz]

I've been on Ebay for 20 years. For the first time I'm considering leaving. It is beyond me why they are forcing sellers to switch to MP. We live in a democracy. Everyone should respectfully be given a choice. This is 2021 and there is zero reasons why sellers should wait 2- 5+ days to get funds on sales. How is this flexible and convenient as they claim to promote? I am disappointed that Ebay has no consideration for the sellers that are the true force of the industry. There is no Ebay without the sellers. I'm only sorry they don't see this. On a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being the worst and 10 being the best, I give Ebay a ZERO.

---------------------------------------

You have a choice.

As with eBay, and any other selling platform, you use the selling venue payment method, or don't sell there.

eBay, and PP did not renew their funds processing contract. eBay has to have a payment processor.

Adyen, the new processor, does not "front" the payment while it is processing the way PP did.

In the real world, everything isn't always "instant".

We either adjust to that fact, or take our business elsewhere.

Respectfully, you are given a choice....sell here under their policy or choose to sell somewhere else under that policy.

Why would you even think that any money making work environment is truly democratic?  It is always, and I say always, the bottom line for any platform.  EBay is not anything but a business to make money, with the availability to anyone that wishes to partake in THEIR platform.

Sign on or sign off....That is the bottom line.  

I hope that whatever path you take, it is a successful one,

Grandma

Since Pay Pal decided they didn't want to process payments for Ebay anymore, they had to come up with another way we could be paid.

I have also sold for approximately 20 years (different ID) and am leaving. I do not care what eBay’s reasoning is for not accepting Paypal any longer, I’m done. This is the last straw.....Each year it has become increasingly more complicated to sell on eBay, and I have had enough. eBay was once very easy to navigate, but they change everything so often I just can’t keep up anymore. The app changes, the main page of the website changes, the shipping label page changes, etc. In my opinion most of the changes have not made it easier to sell but more complicated. You have to click from this link to the next to get anything accomplished. The fees just keep going up higher and higher, they change things every time they find a new way to make money off of sellers, eBay has gotten greedy. My fees on my other platform are high but it offers simplicity. I don’t mind higher fees if it was giving me something in return, and eBay has not. I have a few current listings that once they sell or eBay removes them I’m gone.

Actually, it was Ebay that decided they didn't want to use PayPal anymore. Mostly for profit reasons. Ebay is now able to capture more profit under Managed Payments than they did previously using PayPal as their processor.

No, its a Constitutional Republic.

Managed payments is a risk given Ebay's lackadaisical efforts towards seller (their customers) protections.  A bigger risk than PP ever was.
