New Payment Processing NOT working well - Unhappy Seller

[thetimetravelersantiquesmall]

I don't care for the new system at all.  The payment from my customer should be available immediately as it was before.  With Paypal payments from customers the funds were available to my Paypal account immediately.   It was so simple  (ie: customer pays and dollars are in Paypal acct immediately - I ship and cost of shipping is taken out customer payment in Paypal acct - balance is available for my access to use from Paypal acct or transfer to my bank account within 24 hours).  Now Payment from my customer is tied up with eBay's way of processing for 4-5 days.  Now I have to pay for shipping and send my package before I even have the funds.  So my money is sitting somewhere out there, most likely earning interest for someone else.  If a change is going to be made, it should be for the good.  This change was NOT in the best interest of eBay sellers.

Can't help you there.  It is no different than millions of other corporations operate.  Not sure why it is or should be different for Ebay.  But as it clear on many threads some posters hold Ebay to different standards for some reason.

For Casual sellers [no store] that don't sell on other sites too, this transition can be very hard.  For those that do sell on multiple sites, we are well aware that all the other similar sized sites have their own money processing programs and have had for years.  So this is nothing new to these sellers.  Ebay's payment program isn't the unicorn here, PayPal is.

Ebay may provide a sustainable adaptation to sellers and buyers soon. Let the time and new change work

What does that statement mean?

He is unhappy due to not receiving cash immediately to his account as PayPal did. MP is new change even though it was done gradually. However, with time goes on and when ebay receives such feedback, comments, suggestions from sellers, we may receive a user friendly change in future. Highly possible....

Many are unhappy but most make the change and survive just fine.  My guess is about 2/3rd or more of the sellers are onboarded to MP now.

MP has change a lot in its first three years and I agree with you, it is very reasonable to believe it will continue to change in the future.  Just like the site itself is always changing, MP isn't likely to be any different.

Will wait and see how ebay manages this MP as well as, manage this change for MP

I totally agree, go back to PayPal method.  Over a week and still no money in my account.  Buyer already received goods as well. This new way is a joke
